Metrohm launches Mira DS, designed to identify illicit substances and explosives at the touch of a button.
Developed in close cooperation with professional first responders, the Mira DS addresses the need for safety of drug squad officers, hazmat teams, and bomb technicians in particular while providing ease of use and speed. It features an array of dedicated sampling attachments for illicit material identification. Drug Taskforce officers, for example, may identify substances in glass bottles or plastic containers from a distance using the Stand-off Attachment or with no concern of proper focus using the Contact Ball Probe Attachment.
The tool provides powerful mixture matching and its ruggedized design complies with MIL SPEC 810G. For adequate decision-making in critical situations, first responders can interface it with the HAZMASTERG3 Software App to get additional, vital information about the substance they are facing.
To increase the sensitivity of the Mira DS, it is compatible with Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrates, which enables the detection of illicit drugs even when they are present in trace quantities. SERS substrates kits are available directly through Metrohm
