About

As chemical identification becomes more complex, the need for non-contact, non-destructive analysis is greater than ever.

The Thermo Scientific™ FirstDefender™ RM Chemical Identification System enables hazmat, law enforcement, military and other first responders to obtain accurate identification of chemicals, explosives and hazardous materials in seconds, even through sealed translucent containers. The FirstDefender RM handheld analyzer includes a large, vivid display for ease of use in bulky protective gear and can be easily transported into a hazard zone.
