Raman Explorer 532 deployed for biological and chemical threat assessment; small package size and robust design enables Raman analysis in very harsh environments
Headwall Photonics announced for general availability the Raman Explorer 532, a high performance Raman spectrometer based on Headwall's patented, retro-reflective concentric design.
The availability of this product utilising a 532nm excitation laser extends the capabilities of the Raman Explorer platform which is currently used in mission-critical applications ranging from space exploration to deep ocean research to in-line process analysis of industrial operations.
The Explorer product is currently being tested within the most demanding applications such as chemical and biological threat assessment.
According to Pat Treado, chief operating officer at ChemImage: "As a leader in detection of biological and chemical warfare agents, ChemImage was looking for a reliable Raman platform that would provide the necessary optical performance and spectral differentiation necessary to provide rapid, cost-effective detection and identification of pathogens.
"The Raman Explorer 532 instrument, with its exceptional spatial imaging, spectral bandwidth and resolution provided ChemImage with enhanced photometric performance that we require for leading edge Raman systems".
