Fido Verdict

ICx Technologies has introduced Fido Verdict, a palm-size instrument for rapidly identifying suspicious liquids, solids and powdered materials. The system uses well-established Raman spectroscopy technologies to identify explosives, dangerous liquids, narcotics and other threats commonly listed by agencies such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It enables accurate, field-based analysis at security screening checkpoints, and in support of forensic investigations, while minimizing the exposure of first-responders and other users to potentially dangerous chemicals.
