Featuring tri-mode functionality and design, Viken’s handheld narcotics analyzer is optimized for drug interdiction and tailored for wide use in law enforcement operations. FOXHOUND-HNA provides users with critical information, able to determine if narcotics are or have been present and identify those substances. As news agencies around the U.S. report an unabated and even growing opioid epidemic, FOXHOUND-HNA is an essential and cost-effective tool for drug interdiction operations as they work to keep the public safe. FOXHOUND-HNA takes a novel approach to high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology in three modes: vapor, trace, and bulk sampling. Vapor and trace mode are used before substances are found to tell authorities if a narcotic is or has been present, while bulk sampling mode is used when suspicious materials have been found that need to be identified. FOXHOUND-HNA’s patent-pending bulk sampling mode is a new feature, designed to handle large amounts of material that would typically overwhelm IMS and Mass Spectrometry systems. FOXHOUND’s bulk sampling mode does not require swabs, significantly reducing consumables costs. “The FOXHOUND-HNA provides a new standard for field chemical detection technology, replacing legacy technology that has languished while the opioid epidemic persists,” said Dr. Hanh Lai, Senior VP & GM of Viken’s Chemical Detection and Environmental Hazards Business. “The capabilities, design for ease of use, low maintenance, and cost of ownership have all been incorporated, resulting in a handheld narcotics analyzer engineered specifically to address field operation challenges. We look forward to continue to work with law enforcement agencies around the country with our latest tool, the FOXHOUND-HNA.” READ MORE Search CONTACT US MAIN NAVIGATION HOME PRODUCTS ACCESSORIES GET SUPPORT ABOUT NEWS CONTACT US COOKIE POLICY Viken Detection USA 21 North Avenue Burlington, MA 01803 Phone: +1 617-467-5526 Fax: +1 617-467-5024 China Strategic Partner: 北京环宇融安科技有限公司 Beijing Global United SecuTech Co., Ltd. 地址：北京市朝阳区北辰东路8号7号楼（N座）9层902 Add: Room 902, Floor 9, Block N, No 8 Beichen East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101 电话(Phone)：+86 10 6499 4557 手机 (Cell):+86 15701061005 联系人：程世超 Shichao CHENG Email: info@globalsecutech.com This website and all its content, including all text and images, is protected by copyright © Viken Detection 2019.
