Raman Smart Accessories for All your Sampling Needs

The Thermo Scientific DXR product line has Raman sampling accessories to accomodate samples in almost any format. Additional versatility comes from being able to select from up to three lasers, guaranteeing optimal results whatever the samples. The DXR SmartRaman sampling accessories use pinned-in-place technology to attach to the DXR SmartRaman base, where they are immediately recognized by the OMNIC software using Smart technology. The identity and serial number of the accessory are recorded with the results for complete traceability.

The Universal Platform Sampling Accessory

The Universal Platform Sampling accessory accepts any of four pin-in-place, Smart tool heads, each designed to accommodate a particular sample format. Smart tools include:

• The Bottle Holder for analyzing the contents of standard bottles.
• The Tablet Holder for tablets; with its iris format the Tablet Holder accepts tablets in a range of sizes.
• The Universal Plate for samples such as plastic bags and glass vials.
• The Array Autosampler automates analysis of multi-well plates and other samples in array formats.

The Universal Platform Sampling Accessory employs Variable Dynamic Point Sampling (VDPS) technology to average the Raman signal from a heterogeneous sample without loss of Raman intensity. This unique technology overcomes the challenge of collecting representative spectra from heterogeneous samples, such as mixed powders or pharmaceutical tablets, without sacrificing Raman signal. The effective spot size is user-selectable and under software control.

The Carousel Autosampler Accessory

The Carousel Autosampler accessory automates data collection from standard sample tubes. The removable carousels come in two sizes and accept standard 5-, and 13-mm tubes. The accessory rotates the tubes during data collection to avoid sampling artifacts from heterogeneous samples.

The 180 Degree Sampling Accessory

For situations that require open access to the sample stage, the 180 Degree sampling accessory is the best option. Designed as a simple device to accommodate vials, tubes, powders and other samples, the 180 Degree accessory also permits the use of specialty cells, including cryogenic, high-temperature, electrochemical and controlled humidity chambers. The 180 Degree sampling accessory is particularly useful in environments that value diverse sample formats over highly automated data collection
