FirstGuard™ is a new breed of handheld instrumentation, designed to be taken into the factory warehouse or out the field for real-time, fast sample measurements. Unlike most sample analysis techniques, there is no sample preparation needed for FirstGuard. It can penetrate plastic bags or clear/amber-colored glass bottles while not altering or destroying the sample, thus maintaining sample integrity.

The FirstGuard is designed from the ground up for field use, with an active trigger built into an easy to grip handle.

Operated very much like a point-and-shoot camera, the FirstGuard delivers accurate identification results in a matter of seconds.
