Identify Fentanyl and Synthetic Opioids in Seconds
The Serstech Arx mkII delivers non-contact, through-packaging Raman identification of fentanyl, carfentanil, and novel synthetic opioids — keeping officers safe and evidence intact.
The Fentanyl Threat Is Evolving
Illicitly manufactured fentanyl and its analogs — carfentanil, acetylfentanyl, furanylfentanyl — are now the leading driver of overdose deaths in the United States. A lethal dose can be as small as two milligrams, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by smell.
Traditional colorimetric field tests require officers to open packaging and handle unknown powders, creating direct exposure risk. The Serstech Arx mkII eliminates that risk entirely with non-contact, through-packaging detection.
Purpose-Built for Fentanyl Identification
Through-Packaging Detection
Identify fentanyl and analogs without opening the bag, envelope, or container. Eliminate officer exposure to airborne particles.
Results in Under 60 Seconds
Rapid spectral analysis delivers a confirmed identification in the field — no lab wait times, no chain-of-custody delays for initial screening.
10,000+ Substance Library
The onboard library covers fentanyl, carfentanil, all major analogs, cutting agents, and novel psychoactive substances updated regularly by Serstech.
Court-Admissible Reports
Every scan generates a timestamped, GPS-tagged PDF report exportable via ChemDash — ready for prosecutorial use.
Mixture Detection
Identify multi-component mixtures common in illicit supply chains — fentanyl cut with xylazine, benzodiazepines, or other adulterants.
Most Affordable in Class
The Arx mkII delivers enterprise-grade fentanyl identification at a price point accessible to departments of all sizes — no large agency budget required.
How It Works in the Field
Aim at the Suspect Substance
Point the Arx mkII at the packaging or container. No sample preparation, no opening, no contact required.
Pull the Trigger
The 785nm laser fires a safe, eye-protected scan through the packaging material and into the substance.
Read the Result
The onboard display shows the identified substance, confidence level, and any detected mixture components within seconds.
