Narc Ranger™ FS

Advanced Raman Narcotics Identification for the Field

The new Narc Ranger™ FS features ECLIPSE Technology™, an advanced 828 nm laser engine designed to suppress color fluorescence that can interfere with traditional 785 nm Raman technology.

The result is rapid, non-destructive identification through packaging for approximately 95% of the substances officers encounter every day.

Fluorescence Suppression for Challenging Narcotics Samples

SEE THROUGH THE NOISE.

Traditional 785 nm Raman technology can struggle with heavily dyed samples, cutting agents and fluorescent street mixtures. Narc Ranger™ FS uses an advanced 828 nm laser engine to suppress color fluorescence and extract the Raman signal.

Sample Verification & Hands-Free Operation

DOCUMENT THE SAMPLE WITH THE RESULT

Narc Ranger™ FS automatically captures images during sample placement and testing. Relevant images are extracted from the testing video and included with email reports, documenting the sample associated with the reported result.

The hands-free design means the officer does not need to hold the system or sample during operation, supporting field safety and ease of use.

Hands-free · no need to hold the system or sample
