QD-UKI introduce a Fully Automatic Raman Spectroscopy Analysis System into the UK and Ireland market

29 Nov 2023

Quantum Design are proud to represent Zolix and launch the Finder 930 Confocal Raman Spectrometer.

Since entering the field of Raman spectroscopy in 2003, Zolix has continued to accumulate technical strength, and continuously updated Raman products. The products have been widely used in materials, geology, biology, chemistry, medicine, food, investigate and other fields. After long-term discussions with customers in different industries, they have launched a new generation of Raman system: Finder 930, which aims to create a high-end laser confocal Raman spectrometer with high performance, high stability and high cost performance. Based on the successful experience of previous generations of products, Finder 930 has been fully upgraded in hardware and software:

• Using a new generation of image calibration spectrometer, the imaging quality is better, and the wavelength repeatability and accuracy are higher, making your experiment data more reliable.
• The high-precision automatic electric control system intelligently controls laser switching, laser power, confocal pinhole size, and automatic optical path correction not only makes the equipment more intelligent and easier to operate, but also greatly improve the stability, plug and play, and maintenance free.
• The new system software features fluorescence Mapping, Raman Mapping, fluorescence lifetime imaging, hyperspectral data processing, easy to use, making your data analysis more convenient and fast.
• The newly launched Finder 930 is a general analytical instrument with high performance, high reliability and high intelligence.

Advantage of the Raman spectrum

• Molecule “Fingerprint”, identify the molecule structure and characteristic of the analyte
• Non-destructive testing without sample marking
• Simple sample preparation and measurement of samples containing water
• Small amount of sample, detection spot less than 1 micron
• High spatial resolution
• High temperature and high pressure testing

Raman Spectroscopy Analytical Method

• The intensity, frequency shift, line width, number of characteristic peak, and depolarization of Raman spectra are closely related to the vibrational energy state, rotational energy state, and symmetry of the molecule.

Raman Spectroscopy is a scattering technique which analyses the scattered light of different wavelength than the incident light to obtain the molecule structure of the analyte. When a incident laser light illuminate the sample, light collide material molecules and scatter. Most of the scattered light features the same wavelength with the incident light, only a very small amount scattered light( typically 0.0000001% ) at different wavelengths with incident light, which is inelastic scatter called Raman scatter. The scattered light frequency less than incident light is called Stokes scattering, the scattered light frequency bigger than incident light is called Anti-Stokes scattering, they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the Rayleigh scattering.
