Versatile Benchtop Spectrometer Ideal for QC Applications

HORIBA Scientific’s MacroRAM Raman benchtop spectrometer brings simplicity to Raman measurements without compromising the ability to handle complex samples.

Its compact and robust design, including Class 1 laser safety, means it is safe for use in most environments, from undergraduate teaching labs to industrial QC applications. The spectrometer is compact, at just 17 x 17”, and will fit on most lab benches. Designed for versatility, it includes a standard interlocked sample compartment and holders for cuvette-based liquid measurements, along with a solid sample holder. A fiber port is also standard for probe-based Raman measurements outside the sample compartment, accommodating larger or irregularly shaped samples and immersion probes. The spectrometer is designed with a proprietary 120 mm focal length spectrograph with a single aberration-corrected concave grating with a flat field output. Its back-thinned scientific CCD, cooled down to -50 C, delivers high performance and sensitivity. Powered by the company’s LabSpec6 software, it provides a simple and intuitive interface that overlays a powerful Raman engine that provides a comprehensive set of advanced data analysis and visualization tools, including multivariate analysis and database searching. The MacroRAM can characterize most samples and can be configured to perform Stokes Raman measurements, and AntiStokes as an option.
