B&W Tek, Inc Announces GemRam™ Raman Gemstone Identification System
Newark, DE, July 25, 2011
B&W Tek, Inc., an advanced instrumentation company producing optical
spectroscopy and laser systems, has recently released the GemRam™, a new,
portable Raman spectrometer package dedicated to the verification of known
precious and semi-precious gemstones as well as the identification of unknown
gemstones.
The GemRam™ gemstone identification system debuted at the International
Gemological Conference in Interlaken, Switzerland this month, where it received
rave reviews in the gemology community. It comes equipped with B&W Tek’s
proprietary GemID identification software, which is powered by GemExpert’s
spectral library of nearly 400 different gemstones.
The library contains gemstone spectra for all classes, including: borates,
carbonates, halides, native elements, oxides, phosphates, silicates, sulfates
and sulfides. Different varieties of each gemstone from around the world are
also available in the GemExpert library. Each entry within the library includes
the commercial name, the country of origin, and other information that will
assist with quickly identifying and verifying gemstones. The software package
also allows unlimited space for user defined spectra that can be added at any
time.
“B&W Tek is proud to announce our new partnership with GemExpert for the
development of the GemRam™, the first portable product available for
identification of gemstones using Raman spectroscopy” said Travis Thompson,
Raman product specialist for B&W Tek, Inc. “This compact, lightweight instrument
is the perfect solution for gemstone identification and verification not only in
the lab, but also in the field or point of sale location.”
The GemRam™ package uses a spectrum stabilized 785 nm diode laser with a high
resolution TE cooled spectrometer and includes a Raman probe together with an
X-Y-Z positioning stage for accurate and repeatable measurements. A netbook
computer is also included and is preloaded with GemID software and GemExpert’s
spectral library. The complete unit can be carried in a convenient and durable
carrying case.
