NIR to My Heart.....

Good news from azonano.com - NIR Technology Systems has developed a way for field agents to determine whether drugs are counterfeit in real time, without needing to go back to the lab. Utilizing near-infrared spectrometers that read near-infrared waves bounced off of the pills in question to determine their chemical composition. This technology not only able to determine the level of fakery for the drug in question, but can also to ascertain its source in some instances. Truly ingenious!

The applications for law enforcement and science boggle the mind. Everyone from Horatio Caine to Mr. Spock is going to want one of these babies. Good job, NIRS!

Ingenious indeed! We really cannot deny the fact that the NIR technology brings wonders to many industries. And the utilization of near infrared spectroscopy that reads near infrared waves bouncing off pills is just like watching sci-fi movies. No wonder even Mr. Spock would want one. Kudos to the NIR Technology Systems!
