What are the advantages of Raman Spectroscopy

  • √ No or little sample preparation needed
  • √ No interference from water or CO2
  • √ Non-contact measurements minimise the risk of sample contamination/damage
  • √ Highly specific like a chemical fingerprint of a material
  • √ Able to detect small changes in material (stress/strain, phase, crystallinity)
  • √ Raman spectra are acquired quickly within seconds or less.
  • √ Samples can be analysed through glass or a polymer packaging
  • √ Raman spectra can be collected from very small sample (< 1 µm in diameter)
  • √ Can identify an extremely wide range of chemicals and compounds.
  • √ Can be used for solid, gel, liquid and gas samples
