The partners are evaluating and testing a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrate for trace detection of materials.
Thanks to rapid technology advancements in recent years, Raman spectroscopy has become a routine, cost-efficient, and much appreciated analytical tool. In this white paper, we discuss important performance parameters to consider when selecting a laser for Raman spectroscopy experiments.
In this application note featuring the QE Pro-Raman+ spectrometer, we examine the curing rate of a two-part epoxy as a model system for monitoring the kinetics and reaction completion of industrial processes.
Raman spectroscopy is powerful and versatile analytical tool that is applied in a vast array of applications from materials science to medical diagnostics. In this white paper, Pro-Lite explains how a new class of spectrometers developed by Wasatch Photonics results in compact Raman spectrometers far faster and more sensitive than typical compact spectrometers.
In this application note a Raman microscope, with a heated stage, is used to observe phase transitions in two polymers - polyethylene and nylon-6.
In this application note the optimisation of gold nanoparticles are investigated using Edinburgh Instruments Raman microscope for the development of a SERS glucose sensor.
