Ramanovsky spectrometer RS-IK785

2024: Product Announcement

On February 21, 2024, researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) announced the development of the first Raman spectrometer based exclusively on Russian components. The device is said to be suitable for analyzing and identifying the chemical composition of substances of any nature - from biological fluids to precious stones.

The project participants say that in the current geopolitical situation, foreign Raman spectrometers were under sanctions. Meanwhile, such devices are in demand in various fields - pharmaceuticals and forensics, transport and industrial safety, biomedicine, mineralogy, electronic, chemical and food industries. Therefore, it is necessary to create domestic analogues from Russian-made components.

The Raman spectroscopy method is based on the interaction of light with matter. It allows you to identify the analyzed material with 100% accuracy and obtain data on its structure. Russian experts have created an IR spectrometer with a wavelength of exciting laser radiation of 785 nm. During the development of the device, attention was paid to the development of auxiliary methods that increase efficiency. This is, in particular, SERS technology - surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. It provides for the use of special nanostructures and (or) metallized surfaces to multiply the amplification of Raman light scattering.

The project participants declare that the domestic spectrometer corresponds to the world level and at the same time costs about one and a half times less than foreign analogues. The device has a wide spectral range. Fully Russian software is used. The device can be produced in various form factors - for specific tasks.^[1]
