What is the purpose of the TruDefender?

• A. To weigh samples
• B. To capture high-resolution images
• C. To generate electrical power
• D. To identify unknown chemicals

Answer: (D)

Identifying unknown chemicals in the field using spectroscopy is what the TruDefender is built to do. This handheld device analyzes a sample’s spectral signature and compares it to a library to determine the chemical identity, providing rapid results to support safety decisions and incident response. It’s designed for identification, not weighing samples, capturing high-resolution images, or generating electrical power.
