Raman spectroscopy allows the obtaining of individual spectral ‘fingerprints’ of materials. This form of spectroscopy is commonly used in chemistry and in pharmaceutical and medical fields to provide information by which molecules can be identified. To offer our customers optimum performance for a reasonable price, Avantes joined forces with two different partners to offer you three convenient Raman bundles, consisting of a high-performing spectrometer (three different models), a unique laser-probe combination (785nm) supplying enhanced signals and an outstanding software package to analyze the Raman spectra.
Type of Measurements
Raman technique is used for many different materials. The Avantes bundles are very good for the use of powders and liquids. If very weak signals possibly together with fluorescence background the AvaRaman-D (High-sense Bundle) using our AvaSpec-HERO is recommended (higher quantum efficiency in NIR and better signal-to-noise performance). When weak Raman signals occur (integration time longer than 5 seconds), the thermo-electric-cooled (TEC) spectrometer is recommended. This is added in the AvaRaman-E (Performance Bundle). When strong signals are available (aromatic compounds, alcohol-based liquids) in general AvaRaman-F (Basic Bundle) is useful to perform the measurement.
Application Fields
• Mineralogy & Gemology
• Raw materials identification
• Pharmaceuticals & Medical diagnostics
• Semiconductors
Types of Bundles
There are 3 different bundles, each set-up contains a dedicated spectrometer to your application requirements. The 3 bundles have in common:
For excitation
AvaLaser785 (incl.: 785 nm laser safety goggles). It has an ultra-high-throughput integrated Raman probe. This novel device includes an integrated wavelength stabilized laser source with Raman filter packs, beam shaping optics, and high-efficiency Raman spectra collection optics.
Features
• 785 nm Wavelength stabilized excitation source.
• High throughput optical design with 100cm-1 Cut-on.
• External control box for power adjustment (manually/ software controlled).
