DXR3 Flex Raman Spectrometer

Description

The DXR3 Flex Raman Spectrometer from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a compact, research-grade instrument built for integration with other analytical systems. Its open 'Raman engine' architecture enables direct free-space optical coupling to external equipment like rheometers, microscopes, or process monitoring setups, allowing for simultaneous multi-technique data collection under identical experimental conditions. The spectrometer supports configurable laser excitation at wavelengths of 455, 532, 633, and 785 nm. Users can select between two diffraction gratings: a full-range grating offering an average resolution of 2 cm⁻¹ per CCD pixel, or a high-resolution grating providing 1 cm⁻¹ per pixel. The spectral detection range spans from 455 to 785 nm. By avoiding fiber-optic coupling in its primary configuration, the system aims to maximize optical throughput and sensitivity. It is operated using Thermo Scientific OMNIC software and shares laser sources with the DXR3 Raman Microscope platform, making it applicable for research in materials science, pharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology.
