New instrument from Thermo
organic and inorganic materials - with new automation features.
Thermo Electron has launched a new version of its dispersive Raman spectrometer, the Nicolet Almega XR, used to determine the chemical and molecular characterisation of organic and inorganic materials.
The new research-grade instrument can handle both microscopic and macroscopic samples and includes a number of new features over earlier versions designed to improve both instrument operation and configuration flexibility.
These include capacity for three additional excitation laser frequencies and automated data collection and analysis for array-based samples such as well-plates and blister packs, which improves its usefulness for pharmaceutical applications.
The unit also features automation of operations such as calibration, alignment, laser switching and grating control, which the company claims removes subjectivity from the analysis and saves valuable laboratory time.
