Mobile Handheld narcotic analyzer

This device is deployed in the field for use by uniformed patrol officers to conduct preliminary tests of narcotics. This device is much safer for the officers in the field compared to previous methods as it limits the officers exposure to powder substances.

Good, fast and reliable results so far.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Forensic drug analysis

We are currently evaluating the instrument to determine how we will utilize it. The most useful application for us right now seems to the determination of cocaine base vs. cocaine HCL. We were hoping that the TruNarc would help with the field testing for heroin, but this was not the case.

Instrument is the cornerstone of the undercover drug investigations

The Porter County Drug Taskforce uses the TruNarc daily. We are able to get conclusive results on 80-90% of submitted samples.
