MIRA DS (Metrohm Instant Raman Analyzer) is a handheld Raman system that identifies materials using 785 nm laser excitation. The advantages of using 785 nm Raman are well understood. Excitation with shorter wavelengths produces strong Raman scattering with short acquisition times. This results in a high signal-to-noise ratio and provides excellent spectral resolution with lower power draw. These ...
Forensic scientists working with drug enforcement agencies all over the world are faced with the same questions - What is this drug? How pure is it? How was it made? These scientists are presented with a wide range of drug samples, from products or precursors seized at border control to clandestine lab busts, and require a quick and reliable solution that will give specific identification and can ...
