Raman Spectrometer: Advanced Molecular Analysis for Research and Industry

Raman Spectrometer Perkin Elmer FT 9700 is a cutting-edge analytical instrument used to identify and analyze the molecular composition and structure of materials. Based on Raman spectroscopy, this non-destructive technique provides high-resolution insights into chemical bonding, molecular vibrations, and crystallinity—making it an essential tool in pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, materials science, forensics, and geology.

Whether you’re identifying unknown substances, verifying compound purity, or characterizing complex materials, a Raman spectrometer offers precision, speed, and versatility with minimal sample preparation.

What Is a Raman Spectrometer?

A Raman spectrometer uses laser light to interact with molecular vibrations within a sample. This interaction causes light to scatter, with a small portion of it shifting in energy—this is known as the Raman effect. The spectrometer captures this shift and converts it into a spectral fingerprint, revealing detailed information about the sample’s molecular structure.

Why Raman Spectroscopy?

✅ Non-destructive
✅ No or minimal sample prep
✅ Works through transparent containers
✅ Real-time, in situ analysis
✅ Compatible with solids, liquids, and gases

How a Raman Spectrometer Works

Laser Source: Illuminates the sample with a monochromatic beam.
Sample Interaction: Light interacts with the sample, and a small amount is inelastically scattered.
Optical Filters: Block unwanted light (Rayleigh scattering), allowing only Raman-shifted light to pass.
Spectrometer: Separates the scattered light based on wavelength.
Detector: Captures and records the Raman spectrum.
Software: Interprets the spectrum to identify molecular structures or compounds.

Key Features of a Raman Spectrometer

High Spectral Resolution: Detects even subtle molecular differences.
Multiple Excitation Wavelengths: Common lasers include 532 nm, 785 nm, and 1064 nm.
Compact, Portable Options: Field-ready models available for on-site analysis.
Integrated Microscopes: For precise microanalysis of small or heterogeneous samples.
Powerful Software: Automates spectral comparison, peak analysis, and compound matching.
Wide Detection Range: From low-frequency lattice vibrations to high-frequency molecular bonds.
