    Description

    Gemini Analyzer

    Thermo Scientific

    The Thermo Scientific Gemini Analyzer is the first and only handheld device to integrate both Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, providing comprehensive chemical identification in a single, field-portable tool. Designed for military personnel, hazmat teams, bomb technicians, and first responders, the Gemini empowers users to quickly and confidently analyze unknown substances, minimizing time on target and maximizing operational safety.

    Built on the trusted legacy of Thermo Scientific’s FirstDefender and TruDefender platforms, the Gemini identifies a wide range of solid and liquid substances including explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), industrial chemicals, narcotics, and precursors. Its unique dual-technology capability provides complementary and confirmatory results, ensuring high confidence in critical situations.

    Key safety features include adjustable laser power, Raman and FTIR scan delays, and a motorized anvil for secure sampling. Optional LowDoseID™ software enables trace-level detection and allows users to virtually mix chemicals to assess compatibility risks before making contact. Rugged, lightweight, and intuitive to operate—even while wearing PPE—the Gemini delivers lab-grade performance in a mission-ready form factor. Whether in a bomb squad truck, tactical response vehicle, or field kit, Gemini gives your team the power to make fast, life-saving decisions on the front lines.

    Features

    • 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.


    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.


    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


    Designed for survivability

    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.
