Gemini
Gemini gives military personnel, bomb technicians, hazmat teams and first responders significant tactical advantage, helping them minimize time on target and confidently make life-saving decisions.
The Gemini Analyzer is the first and only integrated Raman and FTIR handheld instrument in the world, providing complementary and confirmatory testing in a single, field-portable device.
Gemini
Handheld analyzer
Gemini leverages the field-proven performance of Thermo Scientific FirstDefender and Thermo Scientific TruDefender instruments to accurately identify a broad range of solid and liquid chemicals, from explosives and chemical warfare agents to industrial chemicals and precursors.
Identify a broad range of unknown chemicals and explosives in the field quickly, safely, and confidently using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy in a single instrument, including low concentration analysis. The Thermo Scientific Gemini Analyzer with LowDoseID is the first to integrate these complementary and confirmatory chemical identification techniques in a rugged, lightweight, handheld solution.
The Gemini handheld analyzer minimizes time on target while delivering comprehensive and confirmatory results in a single, field-portable device, empowering military personnel, bomb technicians, hazmat teams and first responders to execute their missions quickly, safely and confidently. In addition to Raman scan delay, adjustable laser power, and other builtin safety features, Gemini introduces the industry’s first FTIR scan delay, enabled by the motorized anvil. Optional software enables users to virtually mix chemical substances, protecting themselves and the public from dangerous chemical combinations.
Better, faster decision making
Increased confidence in results
Safer Option
Easier to use, enhanced efficiency
Lightweight and Compact
Clear, color-coded, definitive test results
Intuitive Operation
The intuitive, graphical interface ensures that minimal training is required for proficiency. For new users, the Scan Assist feature guides technology selection with a series of easy questions. The consistent interface and workflow across technologies ensure that experienced operators can easily proceed with sampling.
Small footprint, big capability
The Gemini analyzer enables operators to quickly switch between analysis techniques. And, since they no longer need to sacrifice capability for weight, operators have robust analysis information quicker than ever before
Dual Technologies: Complementary and Confirmatory
Raman and FTIR are highly specific and reliable identification methods, each with strengths and limitations. By integrating both into a single analyzer, operators harness the power of each technology while enabling a broader range of chemical identification.
Clear Results
Built on the performance and reliability of the Thermo Scientific FirstDefender and TruDefender product lines, Gemini analyzers deliver accurate, color-coded results which require minimal user interpretation and provide a quick overview of the hazard at hand. Based on these results, operators can quickly and confidently proceed with their mission.
Designed for survivability
We understand the conditions operators face and the demands they place on equipment. From extreme climates to aggressive handling, Gemini has been certified to the latest military standards for ruggedness— drop, shock, vibration, temperature, immersion and much more
