Autofocus Functionality
- The autofocus functionality of Serstech Arx mkII gives a precise result, by automatically obtaining the optimal focus point, within milliseconds. By detecting the container material and thickness, the focus point can be placed with high precision, and the content can be identified with minimum interference from the container. The result is an exact identification of the sample, regardless of how it is packaged.
Efficient Workflows
- Serstech Arx mkII can be operated with one hand and a single button, freeing up the other hand to handle the sample and reducing user errors. All measurements are automatically transferred to Serstech ChemDash when the instrument is connected to your PC.
Connectivity
- Connect wirelessly to ChemDash Mobile to add GPS position and pictures and to allow your instrument to use online resources. Connect to ChemDash Pro using Wi-Fi or the included USB cable.
ATAK over Military Networks
- Serstech Arx mkII has been developed with both military and civilian users in mind. Serstech Arx mkII is the first and only handheld Raman instrument that can communicate over military networks using TAK (Tactical Awareness Kit) and ISA.
All Necessary Libraries, including Biotoxins
- Serstech develops its own Raman reference libraries to meet the highest possible quality standards. Serstech’s chemists are expanding our reference libraries and updates are provided every quarter. The latest addition to the set of libraries are biotoxins, which are commonly needed by HazMat and CBRN teams.
Five Years’ Warranty Included
- All Serstech instruments include a five-year warranty, which ensures that your investment in modern technology is well protected.
Patented SERS Capability
- Serstech Arx mkII can be enhanced with the optional SERS capability, which brings the detection limit down to 200ppm. Read more about the Serstech SERS kit here.
