DXR Raman

Thermo Scientific DXR SmartRaman Spectrometer

Uncompromising performance for maximum productivity with effortless analysis

Dependable Raman Analysis with the Ease
of a Walk-Up Instrument

The DXR SmartRaman spectrometer is designed for bulk sample analysis in busy multi-purpose analytical labs where the users are looking for reproducible and accurate results from a dependable, low maintenance instrument. With patented autoalignment and automated calibration, the DXR SmartRaman is easy for the user to maintain at peak performance without instrument downtime.

Featuring autoexposure, autofocus, automated fluorescence correction, multiple lasers and Variable Dynamic Point Sampling, the DXR SmartRaman delivers optimal results, reproducibly and time after time, without demanding that the user become a Raman expert.

Offering the versatility of SmartRaman technology

One of the most attractive characteristics of Raman spectroscopy is its ease of sampling. Sample preparation is minimal and samples are readily analyzed through glass and plastic packaging. Raman spectroscopy complements the FT-IR in your lab; samples that absorb IR weakly tend to be strong Raman scatterers and vice versa.

The DXR SmartRaman is a true walk-up, Raman spectrometer, designed as an analytical tool to take full advantage of the benefits of Raman spectroscopy.

• Autofocus optimizes the focus to maximize the Raman signal automatically.
• The DXR SmartRaman features autoexposure to automatically calculate the exposure time and number of exposures for optimal sensitivity.
• The DXR SmartRaman offers Smart Backgrounds, which collects background data during instrument downtime, so the user never has to wait.
• Autofocus optimizes the focus to maximize the Raman signal automatically.
• Variable Dynamic Point Sampling overcomes the challenge of collecting representative spectra from heterogeneous samples. VDPS technology rasters the excitation laser beam over the surface of the sample without loss of signal.
  
• Patented algorythm for automatic data cleansing. Offers cosmic ray-free spectra with no intervention from the user.

Analyzing the data is even easier thanks to OMNIC software

• Fully-integrated Array Automation Software lets the user get answers from multi-well plate and other experiments via data arrays.
• Use sophisticated spectral analysis tools like InterpretIR+™ to identify key spectral features of a sample
• Sort through extensive Raman Libraries stored on your hard-drive. We offer the largest collection of Raman spectra in existence. Simple search routines make it easy to identify unknown samples.

Smart Accessories for all your needs

• Use the Universal Platform Sampling accessory to connect up to four platforms, including the array autosampler, the bottle holder, the Universal plate, the tablet holder, the carousel autosampler and the 180-degree sampling accessory.
• Select from three lasers with varying intensities, guaranteeing optimal results. Enhance instrument sensitivity up to ten fold. Select the best laser for your samples.

Best of all, changing out accessories is a snap with SmartLock technology, guaranteeing reproducible results even when changing on the fly.
