Introducing the Metrohm TacticID-1064 ST
Metrohm is proud to introduce the new TacticID-1064 ST, an innovative device for material identification using see-through Raman technology. 1064 nm laser technology combines with dedicated sampling accessories and advanced data algorithms to analyze substances through many containers. By quickly separating the signature of the container from its contents, the Metrohm TacticID-1064 ST delivers accurate results and reduces operator exposure to potentially harmful materials.
Designed for optimized and efficient measurements, the TacticID-1064 ST is compact and user-friendly – eliminating the need to set up complicated methods. An innovative accessory recognition feature ensures seamless operation and minimizes operator training. This handheld device provides reliable results at the sample contact point, guaranteeing faster outcomes, reduced downtime, and heightened confidence in the material identification process.
Chemical identification in quality control, forensics, hazmat, and customs checkpoints demands precise material identification. With its extensive Raman library and onboard guides, the TacticID-1074 ST is designed to handle a wide range of substances during an extended shift or at the site of a dangerous chemical spill. It delivers accurate results when it matters most.

How has spectroscopy training changed? A recent panel discussion explored this topic, discussing how SpecAcademy can widen access without losing the value of hands-on instruction.
How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
