IS-Instruments product case studies
Case studies are one way we can show how our spectrometers and stand-off Raman probes are being used to solve real-world challenges in many environments, including Nuclear Decommissioning, BioPharma, Biomedical, Gas & Oil.
“Spectroscopy can probably answer the question, “Is there anybody out there? Are we alone?” Garik Israelian
Spectroscopy delivers answers to some of the most fundamental questions about our planet and the organisms that inhabit it, as well as about how the universe was formed and what remains in it.
Our Raman spectrometers and Raman probes are helping to address some of the world’s most significant environmental and industrial challenges.
Our standoff Raman probe is capable of making measurements from up to 3m away. As a result, we’re using our spectrometer/probe combination to remotely identify potentially hazardous substances in nuclear decommissioning, initially at Sellafield.
Innovations in Raman
Odin™, our compact deep-UV Raman spectrometer, is groundbreaking in many respects. It uses a diode laser, which does not require gas purging or cooling. The entire instrument fits on a desk, unlike traditional counterparts. Furthermore, a unique dynamic sample stage limits power density at the source, enabling Odin™ to measure fragile samples such as proteins without damaging them. This is revolutionary technology for the biopharma and biomedical sectors, with applications in nuclear decommissioning and beyond.
Our standoff Raman spectrometer has been used to identify multiple gas species simultaneously within a gas pipeline, on-site, without sampling the pipeline and sending it to a lab. This represents a significant saving in time and money and markedly reduces risk to operators.
Gas Raman Spectroscopy
Additionally, in collaboration with partners, we’re using hollow-core micro-structured fibre optics to produce a gas-phase Raman instrument. The instrument will be an affordable and more agile alternative to gas chromatography.
