Handheld Raman Spectrometers: Assessment Report
Abstract
In April 2022 the National Urban Security Technology Laboratory’s System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders program conducted an operational assessment of ten commercially available handheld Raman spectrometers. Additionally, prior to the operational assessment, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory conducted laboratory testing of the devices, including scanning a number of samples in various containers. This report summarizes the results of the assessment.Published: February 15, 2024
