SmartID: Integrated Raman, FTIR, SSP

SmartID, available on the VipIR chemical analyzer, integrates Raman, FTIR, and Smart Spectral Processing (SSP) into a single workflow to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable identification of unknown bulk substances in the field. By combining both spectroscopic techniques, SmartID overcomes limitations like fluorescence interference, increases the true positive identification rate, and provides higher confidence through cross-confirmation of results. Built-in safety measures, including laser interlocks and explosive prescreening, ensure safe operation, while testing shows SmartID outperforms Raman- or FTIR-only analysis. This 3-in-1 layered approach sets a new standard for safe, rapid, and confident chemical identification for first responders.
