Handheld Raman Spectrometer – Serstech Arx mkII

Serstech Arx mkII puts laboratory‑grade Raman identification in a pocket‑size form factor for solids, powders, tablets and liquids. Operators get one‑hand, single‑button use, guided workflows, and night‑vision mode. Embedded algorithms cut fluorescence, Deep Scan finds trace components in mixtures, and results can be shared in seconds via ChemDash Mobile or over ATAK on military networks. Libraries cover explosives, narcotics, CWAs, hazardous materials, pharmaceuticals and biotoxins—> 24,000+ substances.

FAQs

Can it scan through containers?

Yes, clear glass, brown glass and transparent plastics are supported (contact/stand‑off via auto‑focus).

How does it handle low‑level cuts in street drugs?

Use Deep Scan, and pair with the SERS Kit for darker/low‑concentration samples.
