Designed specifically for illicit drug and narcotics identification, the Rigaku CQL Narc-ID allows for the quick identification of unknown substances, including illicit narcotics, precursors and cutting agents. With the ability to scan through packaging, it also minimizes potential operator exposure to the material in question.

Superior 1064 nm Raman excitation
Unlike other Raman analyzers, Rigaku instruments utilize 1064 nm excitation, maximizing the signal to be analyzed by minimizing absorption. For users, this means faster analysis times (typically less than 1 minute) and the ability to scan substances through packaging and containers, avoiding possible operator exposure.
On-board chemical library
The on-board library of over 1,100 chemical substances allows you to quickly identify common chemical threats such as:
- Cutting Agents
- Narcotics
- Narcotic Precursors
- Pharmaceuticals
- Solvents
- Steroids
Note – If your need extends to chemical warfare agents (CWA), explosives and/or toxic industrial chemicals (TIC), we recommend the Rigaku CQL Max-ID or CQL Gen-ID, which includes these in their on-board-libraries.
Response capabilities
The following are in-field capabilities that the Rigaku CQL Narc-ID handheld Raman analyzer provides:
- Automatic mixture analysis of up to 5 components
- Identify bulk and trace levels of an unknown substance
- Automatic precursor monitoring
- Add pictorial evidence using on-board camera
- Adjustable focal position to accommodate sampling through different packaging
Integrated CommandSuite fleet management capability
