Technical specifications:
Spectral range: 3 500 to 50 cm⁻¹ (full‑range grating) captured in a single CCD exposure.
High‑resolution grating option: 1 800 to 50 cm⁻¹ (with resolution ~2 cm⁻¹) and full‑range grating resolution ~5 cm⁻¹.
Excitation laser wavelengths supported: 455 nm, 532 nm, 633 nm and 785 nm.
Measurement spot size (user‑adjustable) via Variable Dynamic Point Sampling (VDPS): from ~10 µm up to 5 mm.
Laser power control: fine laser power regulated and monitored (reported at sample in 0.1 mW increments) to ensure reproducible excitation.
Safety/validation: Instrument certified as Class‑1 laser safe, and offers DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ validation packages with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Physical: Depth ~69 cm, Height ~46 cm, Width ~97 cm, Weight ~56.7 kg. Electrical: 100‑250 V, 48/63Hz, 3.2A max. Operating temperature 16 °C to 32 °C.
Key features:
• Macro‑sampling capability: measure directly through glass bottles, jars, vials (clear or coloured) and plastic bags without special sample prep.
• Large spot size option (up to 5 × 5 mm) for better averaging of heterogeneous bulk materials.
• Four interchangeable excitation lasers for flexibility in sample types and fluorescence mitigation.
• Automatic fluorescence correction and automatic intensity correction across lasers for comparable spectra between instruments and wavelengths.
• Patented triplet spectrograph, optimized gratings per laser, cosmic‑ray rejection algorithm and Smart‑background removal to ensure high‑quality, artifact‑free spectra.
• Fully automated alignment and calibration—user simply mounts alignment/calibration pod; the software runs the procedure.
• Modular design: user‐replaceable lasers, gratings, filters and accessories are Smart Lock enabled and shareable between instruments; accessories are automatically recognized for traceability.
• Sampling accessories available (well‑plates, tablet arrays, tubes, vials, fiber‑optic probes for remote sampling, high/low temperature cells) enabling broad sample formats.
Applications: Ideal for bulk sample Raman analysis in pharmaceutical QA/QC, forensics (illicit drug ID), gemology (natural vs synthetic stones), nanotechnology (carbon nanotubes QC) and general materials research.
