JASCO PR-1w Palmtop Raman spectrometer

The PR-1w Palmtop Raman spectrometer is an innovative instrument from JASCO that is compact, has easy-to-use software and produces impressive data quality. A step away from microscope-based Raman systems, the simplicity of the system is useful for undergraduate teaching labs, research labs or even commercial labs that require quick data analysis and sampling.

The various attachments further enhance the spectrometer’s flexibility, allowing the instrument to measure sample matrices ranging from solids to powders, liquids and even gases. The product can also be attached to JASCO’s FTIR-ATR accessory for complementary IR and Raman sample measurement, giving users the benefit of two different instruments for the footprint of one.

The simplified software user interface is useful for beginners. With the capability to perform real-time data correction, there is no need to spend time post-processing already acquired data. The instrument also comes with a one-year complimentary subscription to the Wiley online Raman database and spectra search functionality; being able to match to commercially available data saves users from having to compile their own reference library.
