Thermo Electron unveils next generation FT-Raman spectrometers
Keywords: Thermo electron corporation, Measurement,Testing and instruments
Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO) launches its new NXR FT-Raman system combining faster detectors and sampling automation to make high-throughput screening applications possible. The new NXR FT-Raman platform is primarily targeted at chemists, materials scientists, forensic scientists and process developers in pharmaceutical and polymer production.
The new NXR FT-Raman spectrometers combine the Raman analytical technique known for its minimal sample preparation and fluorescence-free data collection with new high-performance detectors. The NXR Genie germanium detector delivers new levels of speed, signal-to- noise ratio, and hold time, allowing high-speed scanning without compromising on data quality (Plate 3).
The instruments also integrate a unique MicroStage FT-Raman microscope enabling easy macro- and micro-sampling from the same stage. Smaller objects can be viewed and the versatility of the platform means that high-end experimentation can be performed efficiently and accurately.

The NXR FT-Raman family includes a combination of standalone and modular FT-IR systems:
The NXR 9650 FT-Raman spectrometer designed for researchers requiring the highest performance available.
The NXR FT-Raman Module brings the power and simplicity of the NXR FT-Raman platform to the complementary Nicolet FT-IR series spectrometer from Thermo. The module is also compatible with earlier Thermo FT-IR instruments such as the Nicolet™ Nexus™ and Magna™ spectrometers.
The NXR 9610 FT-Raman spectrometer provides robust, reliable and economical FT-Raman with InGaAs detector options and a robust yet economical semiconductor laser.
The MicroStage FT-Raman microscope incorporates a motorized x-y-z stage, which is fully controlled by the OMNIC™ software. Optional µView™software permits the operator to select the analysis point simply by clicking on the video image. Atlµs™ mapping software package enables automated collection of line and area maps in addition to the sampling of multiple,user-specified points on the sample. The optional Array Automation software package fully controls the array analysis.
