A Raman spectrometer is an analytical instrument used to measure the Rayleigh scattering effect, which is a type of light scattering that occurs when light interacts with matter. Raman analyzers are powerful tools for non-destructive analysis and characterization of a wide range of materials, providing valuable insights into their molecular composition and structure.
A Raman spectroscopy machine consists of three components: the laser, the spectrometer itself, and the sampling interface. A Raman laser has a narrow linewidth, small form factor, low power consumption, and an extremely stable power and exciting wavelength output. The precision-engineered Raman spectrometer is characterized by a high resolution, low noise, small form factor, and low power consumption. The sampling interface allows for precise, easy, and safe sampling.
A Raman spectrometer operates by directing a laser beam onto the sample. The resulting Raman-scattered light is collected and channeled into the spectrometer, where it is dispersed into its constituent wavelengths. A highly sensitive detector then captures this signal. The final output is a Raman spectrum—a plot of intensity versus wavelength shift—that reveals unique molecular vibrational fingerprints, enabling precise substance identification and the study of molecular interactions.
In Raman spectroscopy tests, there is no need to touch the samples, which makes it very convenient for testing and analysis of both liquid and solid samples. During the test, BRM-760X series is selected as the incident light source. According to the requirements of detection sensitivity, BIM-6002A or BIM-6703 series spectrometers are chosen to collect spectra. The light conduction uses SIM-6131 series Raman probes, and the corresponding test accessories are selected for liquid and solid samples respectively.
