1.- What Model are these Raman Analyzers?

RESOLVE 071-T009-001

2.- Can INL provide a contact or the exact address in UK?

The devices are at the Agilent Technologies UK center in Spectrum Building, Becquerel Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0RA

3.- Is there any type of Customs Clearance/permits required to have these analyzers imported to Mexico?

The “fracción arancelaria” for these devices is 90279099. Since the vendor will be responsible for the whole export/import process, he/she should research if special permits are needed.

4.-Can you provide the technical data sheet for the equipment?

Agilent Resolve Raman Handheld Through-Barrier Identification

Insight – Detect through opaque and colored barriers

Safe – No need to open or disturb containers

Fast – Accurate identification of chemicals and mixtures in about 1 minute, no sample preparation, or consumables

Rugged – Built to withstand tough environments

User-friendly – Large buttons, simple interface, designed for use in protective clothing

Agilent Resolve Raman – Handheld Through-Barrier Identification

The Agilent Resolve Raman system is the world’s only handheld Raman system that enables true through-barrier identification of hazardous or contraband materials. Resolve rapidly detects and identifies materials from comprehensive libraries including explosives, precursors, toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, and narcotics.

Unique to Agilent, our proprietary handheld spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology enables positive identification through a wide range of sealed nonmetallic containers, barriers, and packaging.

A new capability for hazardous materials, explosive ordnance disposal, and law enforcement

Hazardous materials Search and law enforcement Military and explosive ordnance disposal

Customs, borders, mailroom, and checkpoint screening

Configure your own libraries

– Explosives and precursors

– Narcotics and new psychoactive substances ; including a wide range of Fentanyl derivatives

– Hazardous and toxic materials

– Household products and less common chemicals

– Chemical agents

– Create, manage, and deploy your own libraries

Through-Barrier mode Identifies through nonmetallic, sealed containers such as colored and opaque plastics, glass, paper, wrapping, sacks, and fabrics

Surface Scan mode Line-of-sight measurements, similar to conventional Raman identification systems.

Vial Holder mode Quickly identifies materials contained within glass vials in a custom holder.

Identify through containers including:

Colored plastic Colored glass Paper

Sacks Packaging, cardboard, and fabric

A New Capability in Chemical, Narcotic and Explosive Detection The Agilent Resolve Raman system differs from conventional handheld Raman identification systems, which typically only operate with line-of-sight to the sample under investigation.

The system works in three modes:

Identify Materials Through Sealed Opaque Containers

Increasing the power of handheld Raman identification

Agilent Resolve Raman

Resolve extends through-barrier capability to work with a wide range of non-metallic containers.

Conventional Raman identification systems

Conventional Raman systems require line-of-sight so work with clear plastic bags and vials, and some translucent packaging.

True Through-Barrier Detection and Identification Conventional handheld Raman systems are typically limited to operation through clear plastic bags or clear glass vials. If materials are concealed behind thicker, colored, or opaque barriers, it might be necessary to open and take a sample. In hazardous material response scenarios, opening or disturbing containers can increase risk to the operator and, sometimes, the public.

Taking samples can also unnecessarily disturb crime scene evidence.

The Resolve system's through-barrier capabilities enable response teams to identify container contents early in an operation, before escalation. This allows information about the situation to be gathered quickly and efficiently, enabling better critical decision making.

Identification through sealed containers Safer operation – Keep hazards contained

Efficient – Removes the need to take samples, move objects, and waste valuable time in personal protective equipment (PPE)

Preserves evidence – Crime scenes remain intact with containers undisturbed

Make decisions faster – Get complete, accurate information earlier in the operation

Versatile measurement tools The Resolve Raman system can do everything conventional handheld Raman systems do—point-and-shoot and vial holder measurements—but adds the capability to identify materials through barriers.

Surface Scan mode Vial Holder mode

Usually routine Usually more difficult*

* Successful identification depends on container/contents combination.

Intuitive Interface – Clear Results The Resolve system combines a tough handheld unit with a simple, user-friendly interface.

Ruggedized and hardened, the system is built to withstand harsh environments. The software interface is simple to use—full system control requires only seven large, responsive buttons, which are ideal for gloved use, even in Level A PPE. Operational managers can fully customize workflows, laser-arming passwords, and the format of results and associated metadata.

Measurement Conduct through-barrier, surface, or vial holder scans. Measurements typically take about 1 minute (or less in some modes of operation). Operators can reduce laser power and set a scan delay where necessary.

Removable nose cone for contact and noncontact scan modes – in-field calibration and performance check is built into a protective nose cap

Large 12 cm (4.7 inch) display – clear, high contrast graphics for use in all light conditions

Large buttons with positive feedback – designed for gloved use

Li ion battery pack for up to 4 hours’ continuous use

All accessories, cables and chargers are supplied within a hard transport case

Results Display results as BEST match only, ALL results or user-defined PRIORITIES only.
