Handheld Raman Substance Identifier

microRAMAN HANDHELD RAMAN SPECTROMETER

The microRAMAN is a handheld Raman spectrometer for rapid, non-destructive identification of unknown substances and mixtures in the field. It analyses solids, liquids, powders and colloidal solutions, with identification typically within seconds and an internal spectral library containing more than 24,000 compounds. 

Designed for demanding field operations, microRAMAN can analyse substances through packaging, glass and protective films, reducing the need to open or directly handle the material being examined.
