Business Wire
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the
Agilent Resolve Handheld Raman Spectrometer has been recognized for
excellence as a tool for emergency responders following independent
use and evaluation by both the UK’s National CBRN Centre, and the
US’ Department of Homeland Security.
In the United Kingdom, the Resolve instrument received the
National CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear)
Centre Certificate of Merit for 2023. The CBRN Certificate of Merit
award recognizes the value of the Resolve instrument, and the added
services and responsivity Agilent provides to its customers. The
award was presented in recognition of Agilent’s ongoing service and
support to the National CBRN Centre and multi-agency partners,
strengthening the UK’s ability to respond to chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear threats.
The National CBRN Centre (NCBRNC) brings together the emergency
services and wider partners to protect and prepare the UK against
the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat.
This certificate is confirmation that all these services based in
the UK recognize the benefits of the Agilent Resolve Handheld Raman
Spectrometer.
“Partnerships with existing and new suppliers across the broad
spectrum that CBRN response require have meant that we are able to
assure the UK response to a CBRN incident,” explained Inspector
Scott Howard, National CBRN Centre, Counter Terrorism Policing.
“This is why Agilent, as an equipment supplier to the NCBRNC, was
awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Head of Centre in recognition
of the ongoing service and support provided to us and our
multi-agency partners. This support has ultimately strengthened the
UK response to counter-terrorism incidents involving CBRN material,
and for that, we are truly grateful.”
In the United States, the Agilent Resolve was awarded the
highest overall score amongst handheld Raman devices available in
the market in an assessment conducted by the Department of Homeland
Security's System Assessment and Validation for Emergency
Responders (SAVER) program. In the independent evaluation performed
by emergency responders, the Resolve also scored the highest in the
"Capability" criterion, exceeding the expectations of all
evaluators as it correctly identified samples through all
containers used at the assessment. This ability reduces the risk of
accidental exposure of operators and the public to hazardous
materials.
“Both the National CBRN Centre Certificate of Merit award and
the SAVER evaluation reflect Agilent’s aspiration to supply the
best possible solutions and services for our customers who put
themselves in harm’s way to protect the public every day,” said
Robert Stokes, Field Detection Marketing Director at Agilent.
“These accolades are an important recognition of the Resolve being
a key apparatus choice for emergency responders across the
globe.”
The Agilent Resolve instrument utilizes proprietary spatially
offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology designed to enable
positive identification through a wide range of sealed nonmetallic
containers, barriers, and packaging. The world’s only handheld
Raman system enables true through-barrier identification of
hazardous or contraband materials.
