HORIBA Scientific (HORIBA), the global leader in Raman spectroscopy systems, is proud to announce the launch of their new XploRA™ PLUS Raman microscope.  XploRA™ PLUS incorporates unique and powerful research functions in an impressively compact analytical bench footprint.

Offering simplicity, reliability and power, it does not compromise data quality or image resolution. XploRA™ PLUS is a fully confocal and high performance Raman microscope, offering an unmatched and enhanced range of options such as multiple laser wavelengths, complete automation, EMCCD detection, Raman polarization and even AFM coupling. Our SWIFT™ Fast Raman imaging offers the best and most detailed Raman images, typically 10x faster than conventional mapping methods.

The LabSpec 6 offers features ideally suited to multiple user environments, such as HORIBA’s “OneClick” Raman.  Ensuring easy and reliable Raman measurements, HORIBA OneClick will automatically adapt and optimize data acquisition parameters, producing quality Raman spectra time after time. Security of the system and hardware is assured by user-specific LabSpec software login accounts, while LabSpec sample ”methods” provide an ideal way to standardize or automate Raman analysis at the touch of a button.

”Ease of operation, sensitivity and speed is unparalleled with the new XploRA PLUS which means it is an ideal system for multi-user and multi-sample environments-it’s powerful yet easy to use.” said Dr. Adrian Knowles, Analytical Raman product manager for HORIBA Scientific.  “Utilizing  deep-cooled CCD detector technology also enables us to run the system with a minimal amount of laser energy required for each analysis, offering true non-destructive sample testing and preserving even the most delicate of samples.”

The XploRA™ PLUS is the full Raman microscope package. It offers an exceptional balance of price and performance and with the enhanced range of options and automation, there is no compromise on applications or on future project upgrades.
