Centice Corporation is creator of the Mobile Field Lab (MFL)-3000, a product that enables narcotic squads and drug task forces to quickly and easily perform drug identification in the field without destroying evidence. Simply place and cover the unknown material (solid, liquid or powder) on the portable device and Centice’s patented Raman Spectroscopy technology rapidly scans it and creates a unique spectral fingerprint of the substance. This “unique chemical fingerprint” is then compared to Centice’s embedded proprietary database of over 3,600 illegal narcotics, cutting agents and controlled prescription drugs to ensure objective and reliable identification.
