Jobin Yvon, world leaders in Raman microscopy have announced the introduction of the unique LabRam IR. This instrument combines for the first time upon a single benchtop system both confocal Raman microscopy and FTIR micro-spectroscopy. The instrument has been awarded the Pittcon GOLD award for the most innovative new product for analytical measurements, with it´s simplicity in operation, high performance and compactness being of particular note.

The Raman microscope incorporated into the system is based around the established high performance of the LabRam series of Raman microscopes, offering optimal micron scale spatial and depth descrimination, multiple laser options, and automated XYZ axis mapping.

The FTIR module is hard coupled to the base unit and provides fast FTIR micro-analysis with both contact and non-contact IR optimised objectives. Integration of the module enables quick and easy selection of the required spectroscopic mode.

The SameSPOT™ technology enables for the first time, measurements to be made with both spectroscopic modes at the same spot on the sample . The specialised sampling objectives even allow for visual interrogation of the sample and for both spectroscopic analyses to be conducted with the same objective - a real step forward in providing precise analytical characterisation.

The resultant Raman and FTIR performance is optimal providing performance comparable to the very best single mode instruments available whilst the single unit design provides both space and cost savings over the use conventional separate Raman and FTIR instrumentation.
