The TacticID® is a field-ready handheld spectral analysis instrument designed for non-contact forensic analysis by a variety of safety personnel and first responders, including law enforcement personnel, hazmat technicians, bomb squads and more. The TacticID utilizes Raman spectroscopy, allowing users to get real-time actionable identification of narcotics, unknown chemicals, explosives and many other substances while reducing operational uncertainty and response time without ever compromising the integrity of the sample or the chain of evidence.

The TacticID® comes in 2 models: Narcotics (N) and General Purpose (GP).

The TacticID®-N comes standard with an industry-leading library of nearly 1,000 illicit substances including narcotics, prescription drugs, precursors and cutting agents. Additionally, users have access to frequent library updates in order to continuously maintain up-to-date identification capabilities and stay ahead of emerging narcotics.

The TacticID®-GP comes standard with a comprehensive library of over 5,000 hazardous chemicals, explosives, narcotics, prescription drugs, precursors and cutting agents. Additionally, it provides users with the capability to develop their own custom libraries in order to continuously maintain up-to-date identification capabilities.

  • Customized Libraries (GP only): Add user-created library items quickly and easily to stay one step ahead of emerging threats.
  • Designed for Safety: Scan delay up to 120 seconds and laser power adjustable from 10-100%.
  • Ease of Use: Designed for technical and non-technical users alike, featuring simple, easy to understand menus and commands.
  • Non-Contact Analysis: Increase user safety by scanning directly through plastics, bottles and other translucent packaging materials.
  • Flexible Sampling: Optimized for analyzing gels, liquids, powders and solids through various package types.
  • Rugged: Dust proof and splash resistant for field environments

Specifications

Software

Material Identity Investigation

The TacticID® comes standard with B&W Tek's proprietary TacticID® OS (TOS) installed within the unit, which allows for identification, library, and data storage/transfer. The TacticID® software (TID) is designed for use on PCs for data and report management, allowing customers to export data and generate reports.

Additionally, the TacticID® provides Wi-Fi synchronization capabilities with network terminals in order to optimize time and resources. TacticID® OS is also capable of real time data and results transfer as well as easy library export.
