Things you need to know about handheld Raman spectroscopy
Is handheld Raman spectroscopy the right choice for your analysis?
Raman spectroscopy reveals molecular fingerprints for material identification. It can be used to identify most materials that are present in mixtures of up to 3 components. Highly specific and selective, it can differentiate very similar materials or identify unknown substances.
What is a handheld Raman spectrometer?
Handheld Raman spectroscopy enables routine, on-the-spot material identification in diverse settings, from receiving docks and food production to museums, clandestine labs, process analytics, and border security.
What are the advantages of handheld Raman spectroscopy?
With handheld Raman, the analysis occurs at the point of need. Whether that means monitoring a chemical reaction or interrogating a suspicious package in customs, handheld Raman systems are capable of fast, accurate analysis in the field.
Key features to look for in a handheld Raman instrument
Handheld Raman systems are:
- small and lightweight
- easy-to-use – they require little to no training
- rugged – they can be dropped, vibrated, and exposed to dust, water, and ambient temperature
- versatile – they offer unparalleled sampling flexibility enabling rapid, non-contact analysis in native forms or packaging, remote acquisition, and standoff detection for applications from space exploration to fentanyl detection
