Fido® Verdict
Palm-Sized Explosives & Narcotics Identification
PALM-SIZE EXPLOSIVES AND NARCOTICS IDENTIFIER
Fido® Verdict™ is a small, lightweight and ruggedized
instrument for rapidly identifying suspicious liquids, solids and
powdered materials. Designed specifically to identify the explosives,
liquid threats and narcotics commonly listed by the ATF and DEA,
Verdict now allows military and law enforcement officials to do
field-based analysis and evidence prioritization.
Building on the Fido pedigree of highly sensitive detection systems,
Verdict uses well-established Raman spectroscopy to identify unknown
materials directly through sealed containers, minimizing exposure to
potentially dangerous chemicals. During interrogation, a spectrum is
captured and compared against an application-specific library to
identify the principal components of the suspect sample. The simple
three-button interface means a sample can be presented, interrogated,
analyzed, and the results provided in under 30 seconds.
Used to screen the contents of containers, bags and bottles at
checkpoints, Verdict provides military personnel, security agents and
law enforcement officials with a portable, easy-to-use and effective
tool in the fight against IEDs and illegal drugs.
