Thermo Scientific Gemini Handheld FTIR and Raman Spectrometer 

The Thermo Scientific Gemini is the first handheld analyzer to integrate both FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) and Raman spectroscopy, offering unmatched versatility and accuracy in hazardous material identification. Designed for military, law enforcement, HAZMAT teams, and forensic specialists, the Gemini provides fast, reliable detection of explosives, narcotics, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and other unknown substances.

By combining FTIR and Raman in a single rugged device, Gemini ensures comprehensive analysis, even for challenging samples like colored, dark, and mixed materials. The device automatically recommends the best technique based on sample characteristics, enhancing speed and accuracy in critical situations.

Built to withstand extreme field conditions, Gemini is MIL-STD-810G and IP67 rated, meaning it is shock-resistant, waterproof, and dustproof. Its intuitive touchscreen interface, large onboard chemical library, and advanced connectivity options make it a powerful tool for rapid threat assessment.
