Raman Spectroscopy
XploRA™ Applications
Pharmaceuticals
Identification and distribution of a tablet’s API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) and excipients can be studied by Raman Imaging
Forensics
Narcotics, polymers, explosives, pigments and biological residues generally exhibit rich Raman spectra. Confocal Raman microscopy provides an ideal non-destructive method for the study of these materials.
Biology & Medicine
Raman spectroscopy is extremely sensitive to subtle changes within bio-molecules, and is extensively used in research of disease diagnosis, micro-biology, drug interactions, tissue healing, dermatology and cosmetics.

Geology/Gemmology
Confocal Raman spectroscopy allows mineral species to be identified, and their distribution mapped with high spatial resolution. Fluid inclusions can be analysed in situ, providing fast identification of the gas/liquid components.
Archeology/Art
In art conservation and archeology Raman spectroscopy is used in the study of pigments, ceramics, glasses and corrosion products, providing information on the origin, the technique, conservation, history and authenticity of an object.
