Range of Raman microscopes, through their high level of system automation, are designed to extend access to the Raman technique within the analytical laboratory
Horiba Jobin Yvon has introduced the Labram Aramis, describing it as a major advance in Raman automation.
The system is the latest addition to the award winning Labram range of Raman microscopes and, through its high level of system automation, is designed to extend access to the Raman technique within the analytical laboratory.
It offers an automated yet fully flexible analytical Raman toolbox with full Class I laser safety as standard and intelligent automated laser switching.
Computer controlled selection of up to four different gratings and four different notch filters enables the system to be operated by non-expert users for even the most demanding of applications.
The instrument incorporates the latest in solid state laser technology to provide a new standard in stability, sensitivity and laser lifetime, says the company.
Rapid automated switching between the various excitation lasers and notch filters enables different wavelengths to be selected for optimum results with every sample, such as a 532nm laser for Sers and resonance-enhanced assays, or a 785nm laser for fluorescence rejection.
The Labram Aramis incorporates the leading edge technology of the true confocal Raman microscope to provide the ultimate in spatial and depth discrimination.
This core technology enables far more sensitive and better defined Raman mapped imaging to be obtained in applications such as pharmaceutical formulation development, forensic analysis, and biological screening.
The system continues to accommodate standard Labram accessories like the micro FT-IR module and now includes an integrated large and flexible macrochamber for bulk routine sampling.
The bench footprint of the system is said to be impressively small, even when multiple laser sources are incorporated.
The system is also available with UV and NIR extensions.
Horiba Jobin Yvon says the Labram family is now the most extensive series of Raman microscopes available, including the standard Labram, the Labram HR for high resolution, the Labram Inv for inverted microscopy, the Labram IR for combined Raman/FTIR, and now the Labram Aramis for complete automation.
