FirstDefender is a rugged, handheld instrument for the identification of unknown liquids, solids and mixtures.
Already in use by military and civilian first responders around the globe for accurate identification of potentially dangerous substances, FirstDefender is quickly gathering momentum in law enforcement. Of particular interest is FirstDefender's application in remediation of clandestine methamphetamine labs. Because it enables responders to identify precursor materials and toxic chemicals through sealed glass and plastic containers, FirstDefender makes meth lab cleanup faster, safer and less costly to the agency in charge. Also of interest to law enforcement agencies are applications in explosives and narcotics identification.
