The integration of portable instrumentation into the curriculum allows an instructor to effectively teach the various principles of Raman spectroscopy including the history, theory, and instrumentation, as well to as visually demonstrate the collection and interpretation of Raman spectra in real-time.
Portable Raman instrumentation in the classroom provides an excellent visual aid for students and allows the instructor not only to demonstrate many principles of Raman spectroscopy and instrumentation, it also helps illustrate the concepts of calibration curves, blank subtraction, detection limits, and regression analysis.
Portable and handheld spectrometers are easy to use and offer a cost-effective tool of research-grade quality, ideal for teaching labs and for use in research.
The portability of the instrumentation provides the ability to take the instrument to the experiment and gives versatility in the sampling accessories that can be used to work with liquid and solid samples of many sizes and shapes in a variety of containers.
Metrohm offers small footprint handheld Raman instruments which deliver high performance and offer a full suite of software options that can be used for data acquisition and viewing, as well as rapid identification with libraries, and more advanced analysis.
