A disposable optical component is available for use with Raman spectroscopy technology. MarqMetrix, a specialist in the field of optical measurement with the Touch Raman BallProbe, has developed a disposable tip for use when interrogating harmful, sensitive or biological samples where safety, sterility and contamination are critical priorities.
The TouchRaman BallProbe has always provided the ability to measure without handling samples, providing reduced risk of contamination and the ability to measure hazardous or unknown substances. The addition of the disposable tip, adds a new layer of safety and mitigation for cross-contamination which is highly significant for biomedical applications or use with high-value raw materials.
The unique advantage of the BallProbe is the spherical sapphire lens, which acts as the focusing element and the sample interface, where users simply touch the probe to the sample, yielding highly reproducible samples. The simplicity of use allows non-specialists to collect high quality data and eliminates user to user variation. The probe can be used to sample liquids, slurries, solids, powders and heterogenous mixtures.
MarqMetrix products address three core production issues: efficiency, waste and cost. Measurements are taken and results are immediate, expediting most processes.
