Several second-generation features in the Almega XR improve both instrument operation and configuration flexibility.
With an expanded range of options, users can better tailor the instrument to meet their specific application needs.
New features include capacity for three additional excitation laser frequencies, a dedicated silicon wafer stage for semiconductor applications, and automated data collection and analysis for array-based samples such as well-plates and blister packs.
The Nicolet Almega XR is designed to maximise productivity in the laboratory and provide powerful, easy-to-use operation.
Automation of critical operations such as calibration, alignment, laser switching, and grating control removes subjectivity from the analysis, and saves valuable laboratory time.
Featuring a very small excitation laser spot size, the Almega XR is most adept at Raman analysis of very small samples with reduced interfering fluorescence.
An integral confocal aperture yields exceptional control of fluorescence and high spatial resolution, and enables depth-profiling analysis.
The Almega XR features both visual microscopy and macro sampling configurations.
Omnic software, the common platform for Thermo Electron's FT-IR and Raman spectrometers, is an easy-to-use interface that provides full control of system components and real-time experiment feedback.
Omnic identifies unknown spectra by accessing databases of over 15,000 compounds.
Raman spectra offer highly specific chemical information for a wide range of samples ranging from semiconductor components to pharmaceutical compounds.
