Mira DS from Metrohm with KnowItAll Raman Spectral Library (Handheld) from Wiley combines a sensitive analytical instrument with the largest libraries available on handheld Raman systems. KnowItAll's Controlled and Prescription Substances Library contains over 20 fentanyl analogs. Mira DS is demonstrated here to have great chemical specificity for correlation matching of these slightly different species. This accuracy, combined with Mira’s flexible, compact, rugged form factor, makes it an ideal solution for detecting fentanyl by security teams at the border and in the field.
The KnowItAll library from Wiley contains over 20 fentanyl analogs and is available on Mira DS from Metrohm.
The Problem with Analogs...
Identification of fentanyl is difficult, as fentanyl is just one of a large class of molecular analogs. As a so-called fingerprint technique, Raman spectroscopy is very sensitive to minor structural changes within a group of analogs. This puts the spotlight on databases used to identify the compound. If the database is too small, a fentanyl analog might go undetected.
