B&WTek NanoRam handheld Raman spectrometer

B&WTek’s NanoRam is a compact, lightweight, handheld Raman spectrometer and integrated computing system designed for rapid raw material identification and verification. The spectrometer enables the development of standardised and validated methods for purity and quality control applications. It is used for non-destructive identification and verification of materials such as APIs, excipients, intermediates and finished products.

Weighing less than 1 kg, the product can be used by non-technical users to rapidly identify samples in the lab, warehouse, loading dock or field, helping to eliminate quarantine areas and expedite materials through the manufacturing life cycle. Using Raman technology, non-contact analysis can be performed through transparent containers, all while maintaining the volume and integrity of the sample.

At the heart of the unit is a 785 nm wavelength laser excitation source coupled with a thermoelectrically (TE)-cooled CCD detector and a crossed Czerny-Turner spectrograph, delivering a very stable signal with low background noise. The device comes with point-and-shoot, vial holder and bottle adapter accessories.
