908 Devices VipIR Smart Spectral Processing
The 908 Devices (formerly RedWave Technology) VipIR uses mart Spectral Processing (SSP), a proprietary algorithm that actively integrates Raman and FTIR spectral data, using the results from one to refine, challenge, or confirm the interpretation of the other. This interaction between the two techniques enhances the accuracy and reliability of chemical identification from a single sample. SSP allows hazmat technicians to collect and analyze two separate spectra from the exact same sample without re-positioning the sample or taking an additional sample. The result is a single, high-confidence identification of unknown solids, or liquids, including toxic industrial chemicals, narcotics, explosives, and everyday chemicals. With this SmartID workflow, VipIR™ accelerates decision-making on scene, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring more accurate field identifications during hazmat response scenarios.
VipIR does not just combine FTIR and Raman technologies into a single device, it amplifies their capabilities and offers hazmat teams a dramatic improvement in unknown substance identification.VipIR was built with flexibility in mind. While a simplified workflow eliminates the guesswork in unknown chemical identification, experienced hazmat technicians can also select which technology to employ as needed.
