Metrohm

Raman spectroscopy can be used for direct sample analysis typically without preprocessing or preparation. Raman has the unique capability of being able to test a sample directly through transparent packing material like glass or plastic, making it a fast, easy method that can be used for material identification and analysis wherever it is needed. With their portability and intuitive operation, handheld Raman spectrometers considerably increase efficiency by eliminating the need for additional space and wet chemistry.
