What is Raman spectroscopy?
Raman
spectroscopy is an established vibrational technique that produces a spectrum that relates to features in the sample’s molecular structure. Each compound’s Raman spectrum is unique, and serves as a “chemical fingerprint” that can be used to identify an unknown compound, or a mixture of compounds.
What are the benefits of Raman technology?
- Nondestructive testing
- Little to no sample preparation
- Identify various form factors, such as solids, powders, gels, pastes and liquids
- Scan through translucent packaging, such as plastic and glass – keeping the user or material safe from exposure
Rigaku's 1064 nm Raman
- Minimized fluorescence interference
- Identify colored or impure samples
- Scan through colored wrappings or containers
- Analyze mixtures without additional operator action
