#  Bruker Launches the RAPIDplus (mod 4)

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 20 November 2020.

Today, Bruker announced the launch of the novel *RAPIDplus (mod 4)* Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) based stand-off detector for Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC). *RAPIDplus (mod 4)* allows automated, 24/7 monitoring of chemical hazards at distances up to 5 km. It is specifically designed for maritime, coastal, and shipboard environments which makes this instrument unique.

RAPIDplus (mod 4) – Chemical Stand-Off Detector for Naval Applications

**RAPIDplus* (mod 4)* is based on the field-proven FTIR technology used in the widely deployed RAPIDplus (mod 3). The instrument has been designed with advanced materials selected to withstand harsh maritime environments, with enhanced sealing and a clear focus on maintainability. Our aim was to achieve customer driven needs while maintaining the superior analytical performance of our technology.

*RAPIDplus (mod 4)* is the first stand-off detector especially designed for maritime environments. The system has been extensively tested against the pertinent military and environmental standards associated with a corrosive environment and has succesfully demonstrated its superior capabilities in this challenging application.

The *RAPIDplus (mod 4)* is the first chemical stand-off detector designed for maritime applications including the navy, coast guard, port security, and more. We are convinced that the combination of proven Bruker stand-off technology tailored for this application will provide the same high level of reliability, performance and protection that is expected by all of our customers across the globe.” said Dr.-Ing. Armin Gembus, Vice President Business Area Gas Raman and Trace Detection.
