PerkinElmer Introduces High-Performance, Portable Raman Spectrometer for Forensic Analyses
WALTHAM, Mass. – PerkinElmer, a global leader in application-focused measurement and analysis solutions, today announced a new portable Raman spectrometer designed to deliver unambiguous, high quality data for on-site forensics and homeland security analyses. The PerkinElmer Raman IdentiCheck™ combines the high spectral performance of a laboratory-based instrument with the convenience of a portable, hand-held trigger probe system.
Dennis added that until now, customers either faced a compromise in performance with handhelds or a delay in turnaround time by needing to use laboratory-based instruments. “This instrument expands the range of samples that can be tested at- scene, provides confidence in the data and requires no special training.”
The no-compromise Raman IdentiCheck™ delivers laboratory-quality spectra (3500-230 cm-1 range, 4 cm-1 resolution and high sensitivity) with a lightweight trigger probe for ease and convenience of sampling through a range of plastic and glass packaging.
The system is controlled using a laptop or tablet PC equipped with a comprehensive suite of software. The PerkinElmer Spectrum™ software includes all data collection and sophisticated spectral processing such as baseline correction, photo- bleaching and spectral COMPARE™ to make even challenging samples more straightforward to analyze and positively characterize. An audit trail is generated for every spectrum, ensuring traceability of data throughout the processing chain. This audit trail is saved with each spectrum and is secured against any post-editing.
