Progeny ResQ is a cutting-edge chemical detection system. that uses Raman spectroscopy to identify unknown compounds. Differentiated from traditional handheld and portable Raman systems, Progeny ResQ utilizes unique 1064nm laser excitation. The 1064nm advantage overcomes sample-induced fluorescence interference, allowing operators to identify many real-world compounds (including those that are colored or found in colored packaging) that were previously “invisible” to older generation systems.
QuickDetect Software
With a library of over 13,000 compounds, Progeny ResQ provides results within seconds at the touch of a button. Intuitive, smartphone-inspired QuickDetect software uses advanced algorithms and extensive databases to identify the sample (pure or mixture) and presents the user with a simple ‘Threat / No Threat” reading and relevant NFPA hazard information that can be used to guide the response effort.
