Chemical Analysis for analytical labs from HORIBA Scientific

Automated, simple, sensitive Raman microscopy

XploRA ONE, the Raman spectrometers ideal for applications driven measurements:

• QA/QC analysis
• Raw material validation
• Forensic routine analysis
• Pharmaceutical testing
• Routine inspection

The XploRA ONE™ is the highly versatile, yet easy to use, Raman microscope targeted at the industrial and routine analytical sector. It combines optical microscopy, with sensitive Raman analysis in a 'ONE shot' analysis concept. Raman has never been so easy and yet so powerful in the Analytical Lab.

The XploRA ONE™ offers simplicity in design and operation so that the analyst can focus on the sample measurements and routine analysis that is important, obtaining results not just spectra.

It provides class leading sensitivity and confocal detail, full optical microscopy and even has options for HORIBA’s innovative SWIFT™ Raman chemical imaging, yet requires minimal operator training and maintenance. The XploRA ONE™ philosophy ensures that Raman has become an even more accessible analytical technique.

High Throughput Screening for Raman chemical analysers
The new MultiWell module for the acclaimed LabSpec 6 Spectroscopy Suite transforms the HORIBA portfolio of Raman microscopes into efficient high throughput chemical analysers, coupling the non-destructive chemically rich analysis with high sample turn around and fast return on investment.

The MultiWell module is an add-on for HORIBA Raman microscopes equipped with the standard XY stages. It is compatible with a wide range of well plates, micro-titre plates and micro-spot arrays, including standard 96- and 384-well plates – custom plates can also be accommodated, but may require alternative sample stages to match the plate dimensions. An intuitive Plate Wizard can be used to configure virtually any plate to be used by the Raman system. Optional reference locating tools are available to ensure the highest spatial integrity when loading the plates, allowing compensation for shift, rotation and tilt of the plate.

The Data acquisition routines can be easily customised to meet individual laboratory requirements, whilst retaining the full analytical capabilities of the Raman system. As a result, experiments can range from basic material identification through to advanced characterisation of subtle chemistry such as crystallinity, polymorphism and stress/strain. Data acquired through the module can be interrogated using the full suite of functions, including one touch Multivariate analysis methods, and intelligent spectrum identification using the KnowItAll® HORIBA Edition.

LabSpec 6 is simple yet powerful software, which allows researchers to handle advanced analytical functionalities, in multi-user environments without needing to learn the intricacies of a new software platform.
