ID Detection Systems (IDDS) of Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, specializes in the development and commercialization of advanced detection technologies. The Company’s principal focus is the application of Raman based detection systems for instant screening and identification of unknown substances. IDDS works closely with optics researchers and laboratories around the world in developing advanced and accurate Raman based detectors.
Raman technology is non-intrusive and non-destructive. It entails illuminating unknown substances with a monochromatic light source (laser) and measuring reflected light. The photons of light interact with a substance's molecular structure resulting in an inelastic scatter of energy within the vibrational states of the molecules being analyzed. This scatter differs among chemicals or substances based on their unique molecular structure. Identification can be accomplished without sample prep or direct contact of any kind with an unknown substance. This remarkable Raman based technology can rapidly identify hazardous chemicals, explosives, narcotics and even biological agents on-site without the risk of opening glass containers or touching the substance.The IDDS system is extremely fast, sensitive and selective.
