Why Choose Raman?

• No sample preparation required
• Measure through glass, quartz, plastic (non-contact)
• Samples can be solid, liquid or gas, transparent or opaque
• Small sample size to reduce cost
• Wide spectral coverage for diversity of applications
• Spectra that is more clean and precise than FTIR or NIR

Collects Data within 65cm^-1 of the Rayleigh Line

The center wavelength of the laser line is precisely maintained even when the peak power is increased by utilizing a series of high end filters. A laser line filter is used to clean up any side bans and ensure a narrow excitation is delivered to the sample by removing all secondary excitation lines before exciting the sample. The light collected from the sample is then filtered via a notch filter. Finally, an ultra steep long pass filter further removes lingering laser line to allow accurate measurement of Raman peaks as close as 65cm-1 from the Rayleigh line.

Digitization of Photons

For demanding low-light applications a sensitive detector must be utilized. The innoRam™ features a two dimensional charge coupled device to detect the dispersed Raman signal. The detector is TE Cooled to -20°C to maximize dynamic range by reducing dark current. A backthinned CCD is used to obtain 90% QE via collection of incoming photons at wavelengths that would not pass through a front illuminated CCD. The innoRam™ is the solution to achieve maximum photon collection for your low-light applications.

Creating Raman Scatter

In Raman spectroscopy it is essential to utilize a clean, narrow bandwidth laser due to the fact that the quality of the Raman peaks are directly affected by the sharpness and stability of the delivered light source. The innoRam™ spectrometer system features a patented CleanLaze® technology with linewidth as narrow as 0.01nm when equipped with our 785nm laser. This technology results in the correct center wavelength and avoids the phenomenon of “mode hopping.” In addition, the laser output power can be adjusted in the software from 0 - 100%, allowing you to maximize the signal-to- noise ratio and minimize integration time. Our standard automatic shutter will reduce photobleaching for a variety of different sample types.

Laser lifetime of 10,000 hours ensures quality data for years to come!

Optimized for Raman Spectroscopy

The spectrometer design is dedicated for Raman applications. You can customize your spectrometer by choosing from a variety of excitation wavelengths. In addition, each configuration can be further customized for your individual detection needs. Choose from wider spectral range or high resolution optimized systems. Research grade spectral resolution of 2cm^-1 can be achieved with our double pass transmission optics. Most Raman applications do not require such tight resolution, for those more general applications, a system that provides a wider spectral range is your solution. The high-throughput optical layout of all innoRam™ configurations are ideal for those low-light level Raman applications.

Easy Transition Between Sample Types

Taking measurements is as easy as point and “trigger!” By enabling the trigger option, the probe allows for measurement of various materials in the form of liquids, gels, powders, or solids under both lab conditions (Lab Grade) or demanding environmental conditions (Industrial Grade). Constructed with state-of-theart telecom packaging techniques, the probe has a flexible fiber coupling encased in a durable protective jacketing material which delivers Rayleigh scatter rejection as high as 10 photons per billion. Available for use with two excitation wavelengths: 785nm and 532nm.

Custom wavelength excitation probes available

State-of-the-Art Touch Screen

The innoRam™ system incorporates an integrated computer so there is no need for a separate laptop or desktop, making it ideal for applications needing bench-top portability. Featuring an embedded version of Windows XP and a 5.7” VGA touch screen with LED backlighting, the intelligent GUI is easy to use and Bluetooth capable. With an AMD Geode LX-800 500MHz CPU, Compact Flash 8GB Hard Drive, 1GB RAM, 2 USB, 2 Ethernet ports, and video output capabilities this system provides a total solution for Raman spectroscopy applications.
