Teledyne FLIR’s Griffin G510 platform is a portable Gas
Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) system used widely by
domestic and international public safety teams to perform real-time
in-field chemical threat confirmation. Modifications on the new
G510x enable operators to identify trace amounts of narcotics in
complex mixtures that are now the norm. Opioids such as fentanyl
and the xylazine combination ‘tranq’ pose serious threats to users
and emergency responders alike.
Confidence levels when identifying drugs in the field is crucial
to both medical staff and police. The Griffin G510x has proven
uniquely capable of confirming deadly narcotics ‘hidden’ within
other substances. Given the potency of fentanyl and its
derivatives, even a microscopic amount can be life threatening.
G510x can spot as little as a two-percent fentanyl concentration
mixed in a background of common pain relievers, while other systems
might only detect the pain reliever.
“Fentanyl and other drugs have taken thousands of lives and
devastated communities across America. The G510x gives federal and
local law enforcement a powerful new tool to quickly identify
dangerous narcotics in the field and get them off our streets,”
said Mark Blanco, vice president of Integrated Detection Systems at
Teledyne FLIR Defense.
“We’re proud to offer new technology solutions that can combat
drug trafficking and save lives. The more easily first responders
can identify the type of drug that’s triggered an overdose, the
faster they can begin lifesaving treatment,” he added.
The G510x features on-board drug databases updated every
three-to-six months that provide confirmatory analysis of more than
3,500 illicit drugs, metabolites, and other related compounds. A
nine-inch touchscreen display guides user prompts and can be
operated while wearing protective equipment. Built-in Wi-Fi and
GPS, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot, allow Teledyne FLIR and
third-party chemists to provide real-time analysis to confirm or
deny chemicals of interest via end-to-end encrypted connection.
