On-site testing for prohibited substances

Accurately identifying illicit drugs and other tracers, and precisely reporting their concentrations and origins, has always been one of the key pieces of evidence required by the relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities to pursue criminal liability and secure convictions.

Criminal investigation departments typically need to analyse and test suspicious samples seized by law enforcement agencies to determine whether they contain prohibited substances, and to assess their purity and origin.

The ProC-TOF time-of-flight mass spectrometer enables real-time, online, non-destructive analysis of samples, eliminating the need for cumbersome sample preparation and separation procedures.

The instrument’s high resolution enables the detection of molecular signals from the analyte even amidst the numerous VOCs present in ambient air, without the need for chromatographic analysis.

The ProC-TOF time-of-flight mass spectrometer performs full-spectrum simultaneous measurement; the characteristic isotopic peaks detected can also serve as an important reference for species identification.
