Testing of Ahura's FirstDefender Handheld Chemical Identifier Against Toxic Industrial Chemicals
Abstract
The handheld Raman spectrometer for point detection of chemicals developed by Ahura Corporation was tested using toxic industrial chemicals (TICs). This report reflects extended capabilities of TRI Report #200601131. The device was assessed for its capacity to detect and identity liquid and solid substances/mixtures through sealed glass containers (clear and amber) in a completely non-contact non-destructive manner. The following TICs were tested: acetone, acetone cyanohydrin, acrolein, acrylonitrile, allyl alcohol, benzene, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, chloropicrin, dimethyl sulfate, dimethylamine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, formaldehyde, gasoline, kerosene, lindane, M-cresol, methyl hydrazine, nitric acid, parazylene, phenol, phosphorus trichloride, phosphoryl trichloride, potassium cyanide, propylene oxide (methyloxirane), sodium cyanide, sulfuric acid, tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, xylene, and hydrazine.
