Fast, Accurate, Dynamic Imaging For Forensic Applications

Together with CI Xpert™, the versatile data acquisition and analysis software package included with the system, CONDOR allows you to unlock information contained within the chemical images, to reveal detail of sample chemistry that’s unobtainable by traditional analytical imaging methods.


The CONDOR - Chemical Imaging for Forensics Applications Applications

CONDOR’s Wide-Field Chemical Imaging System uses the reflected or emitted light from each point in the sample image measured simultaneously at a series of wavelengths to create chemical-based contrast within the image. By promoting both spatial and spectral information, species of interest and background interferences can be resolved and quickly identified. This process is both fast and accurate. The spatially-specific chemical sample information that CONDOR produces gives the scientist a unique materials characterization capability that may be applied to a wide variety of application areas. Common Application Areas:

  • Forensics
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Polymers
  • Biological/Chemical Threats

Common Measurement Capabilities

  • Forensic trace evidence detection, comparison, characterization and identification (i.e., fibers, fingerprints, paint chips, tapes, ink/documentation, drugs, residues, stains)
  • Pharmaceutical Ingredient-specific domain size distribution
  • Percent composition determination
  • Coating / layer thickness measurements
  • Degree of blend
  • Spectral mixture analysis
  • Chemical identification / comparison
  • CIE L*a*b* color quantification
  • Through pack imaging
  • Dynamic (time-dependent) Chemical Imaging
  • TLC plate imaging
