Manually collecting samples in hazardous situations exposes first responders—and the public—to potentially dangerous materials or explosives.
The Agilent Resolve handheld Raman system reliably detects and identifies unknown substances—even through opaque packaging and nontransparent containers. It can:
What’s more, the Resolve handheld Raman system is simple to use, requiring minimal training.

While hazardous materials can be encountered at any time, it may not be practical for operators to wear high-level PPE. Resolve uses SORS technology to safely identify unknown solids, powders, and liquids through nonmetallic, sealed containers. Exposed materials and samples in clear glass vials can also be analyzed.

The Resolve system’s through-barrier capability reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous materials, and its unique optical technology minimizes the chance of igniting sensitive explosives. Resolve is also designed for use while wearing protective gear, and optional Wi-Fi connectivity lets you run measurements remotely.
Read application notes:
In under two minutes, Resolve easily identifies chemicals inside a range of opaque containers while the containers remain closed. That means crucial information can be obtained early in an operation, before escalation. Operators also spend less time wearing protective gear.

Resolve SORS optics provide excellent data quality with a high signal-to-noise ratio, and results are clearly displayed. What’s more, in-field calibration takes just two minutes and is performed with the protective nose cap in place. Onboard metadata and threat priority settings further streamline the simple workflow.

Three library package levels are available, depending on your requirements: Standard, Toxic/Hazardous, or Comprehensive. Library updates are available every six months. In addition, the Command Fleet management software lets you create your own Resolve libraries and distribute them to your fleet. Find out more.
Read application notes:
Resolve can run with either mains or battery power. The battery pack lasts three to six hours when fully charged and uses SMART technology to display the amount of charge available. What’s more, the battery compartment is fully waterproof (IP67) for worry-free operation under damp conditions.
With its rugged, IP67-rated body, Resolve is ideal for use under rough conditions. Automation and simplified controls—including large buttons—make the system easy to operate under high-stress conditions while wearing protective equipment. A removable rubber boot and metal nose cone make decontamination easy.
Resolve enables USB and Wi-Fi connectivity for data transfer. Wi-Fi connectivity lets you operate the Resolve system remotely, which is ideal for situations that require range conditions. Both connectivity types can be easily disconnected and can use an external dongle for security purposes.
