Counterfeit drugs mislead users and authorities and cause missed treatment, mistreatment and is estimated to lead to the loss of 1 million lives each year. With hyperspectral technology the chemical content of samples can be screened in real-time, even through packaging, leading to safer healthcare and reduced risk of fraud.

After collecting forensic evidence comes the process of analysing samples to determine their relevance in the case being worked on. By using hyperspectral technology the time to detect, identify and when applicable also estimate the age of forensic traces can be minimised. The rapid, non-destructive and non-contact features of hyperspectral imaging mark its suitability as an analytical tool for forensic science.

Working in border control and customs is often a time pressed operation. By using hyperspectral technology the personell is given a tool to quickly identify suspicious substances in a non-invasive and nondestructive way. It provides the ability to scan directly through evidence bags, glass bottles, clear plastics and more with a detailed analysis returned in seconds. Hyperspectral image analysis is a powerful tool for both classifying and quantifying substances, setting the direction for further investigations.
