/ WHAT AGENCIES SAY

"We recently used the Amplifi ID to test a substantial seizure of suspected drugs packaged in a Tupperware container. Testing directly through the container let us limit our exposure with minimal handling, and we received results immediately ... [which] allowed us to move forward with confidence that we were in fact dealing with illicit substances. It has been an excellent investigative tool for our team"

/ How it works

Clear chemistry, field-ready language

Enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Amplifi ID shines light on a sample and reads the molecular fingerprint that comes back. The device turns complex Raman spectra into a clear, plain-language result so trained field teams can act quickly.
