The Cora 100's small footprint (6.3 in x 3.9 in x 1.2 in), light weight (1.5 pounds), and rugged construction make it ideal for single-handed operation and real-time identification of substances. Designed to be compatible with all major decontamination techniques , the Cora 100 excels in the harshest conditions and is certified as MIL-STD 810G impact and vibration resistant and IP67 water resistant. Spectral libraries for narcotics, hazardous materials, explosives, and chemical warfare agents are available to ensure that the Cora 100 meets specific needs for security screening at public events, schools, airports, and prisons, by police and fire departments, customs officials, and military operators, both domestic and abroad.
For a limited time, Anton Paar is even offering a free Cora 100 trial.
