RamanID
Discontinued - The RamanID is a portable, rugged, brief-case system weighing under 30 pounds. The system operates over a broad temperature range, and uses a military-grade, 5-hour rechargeable battery. Sample measurement is accomplished through the use of lightweight fiber optic probes that can be standalone or integrated into positioning systems, with fiber optic cables ranging from 3 to 25 meters in length. Samples can be identified through colored glass or plastic bags or bottles, eliminating the chance of exposure to possible harmful substances in such containers.
