Raman Spectrometers, Microscopes, and Process Analyzer

Raman solutions

Choose the right Thermo Scientific Raman microscope, spectrometer or analyzer for your specialized work. Because the needs of a process engineer, a manufacturing QA/QC director, or a lab researcher all differ in specific ways, we have multiple instrumentation options to meet different requirements. Ideal for use in forensics, pharmaceutical analysis, battery development, academic research and more, this selection guide can help to find the Raman analytical instrument that best fits your chemical identification and process measurement needs.

 

Raman analysis selection guide

This selection guide is designed to help you decide which Raman instrument best fits your needs. Whether you need micron-level spatial imaging information about a sample, verification and validation of a bulk powder, or in-line process monitoring, we have an instrument for the task.
