Craic reveals forensic microspectrophotometer

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Jun 9, 2009

Craic Technologies has announced the QDI 2010 forensic microspectrophotometer.

This system is configured to rapidly, accurately and non-destructively analyse many types of trace evidence.

Applications include the comparison of dyes in textile fibres, the analysis of UV absorbers in clearcoats used on automotive paints, even the characterisation of gemstones.

The system can be configured to image and acquire spectra of questioned documents from the deep ultraviolet to the near IR.

The QDI 2010 Forensic is combined with Craic Technologies Traceable Standards, which are designed for use with microspectrophotometers and calibrated using Standard Reference Materials from NIST.

It features high-sensitivity, multiple analytical techniques - including absorbance, reflectance and fluorescence microspectroscopy - and variable sample measurement areas.
