Image result for handheld raman spectroscopy portable analyzer

Handheld processors getting hyped by commercial vendors and praised by law enforcement. The process is meant to ID small materials, trace evidence from blood to chemicals to drugs. Its another ‘point and shoot’ kinda test. I have not been able to uncover what false positive data may exist for in-the-field analyses.

What is Raman Spec?

Forensic applications.
