16 New Raman Spectroscopic Analyser
A new Raman spectroscopic analyser from Thermo Fisher Scientifi c provides process monitoring for a variety of applications, including biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The Thermo Scientifi c Ramina Process Analyzer offers non-destructive and continuous analysis without the need for sample preparation, with rapid system setup and deployment in as little as 15 minutes to generate spectral data on target analytes within seconds.
Designed to eliminate the complexity of performing Raman spectroscopy measurements, the system makes the technique accessible to all levels of user experience while maintaining high precision and accuracy. A range of patented probes maximises the speed and sensitivity of results, enabling fully automated in situ measurements to calculate concentrations in a reaction vessel.
Offering a rapid and easy-to-use alternative to offl ine manual or automated wet chemistry testing, the Ramina Process Analyzer is simple to install and use compared to traditional Raman process monitoring systems. Ramina comes with everything the user needs to start collecting data, including a Raman spectrometer and fi bre optic probe, as well as a portable monitor, mouse, keyboard and laser safety goggles. Factory calibration ensures the Ramina system is ready to use without delay, and its solid-state construction offers long-term stability, meaning users can enjoy continuous, highly accurate measurements without frequent calibration. Users can also use multiple systems in parallel to test different reaction vessels simultaneously, or combine a number of probes in one vessel.
Chloe Hansen-Toone, Vice President and General Manager for Field and Safety Instruments at Thermo Fisher, commented: “We are excited to launch the Ramina Process Analyzer, which offers an almost effortless method of performing precise in situ Raman measurements, enabling customers to generate real-time data where and when they need it. The compact and portable design of this analyser, as well as its user-friendly operation, will help to reduce time-to-results without the burden of taking up too much valuable laboratory space.”

New Upgrade for Photoluminescence Spectrometers
A new upgrade for its photoluminescence spectrometers has been announced by Edinburgh Instruments. Designed and manufactured at their global headquarters in Scotland, the MicroPL upgrade enables the study of spectral or time-resolved photoluminescence of samples in the microscopic scale by converting an Edinburgh Instruments photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer into a combined spectrometer and microscope system. A wide range of microscope confi gurations, source coupling and detector options are available enabling both steady state and fl uorescence lifetime microscopy, as well as automated maps.
Suitable for any type of photoluminescence experiment, this customisable instrument can be tailored to any application and upgradable in the future. A FLIM add on enables accessible and user-friendly fl uorescence lifetime mapping. The adaptable Plug & Play allows easy access between MicroPL and FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer or FS5 Spectrofl uorometer standard sample holders. All-in-one software includes data acquisition, analysis and presentation.
Roger Fenske, CEO, said: “We are delighted to expand the functionality of ou photoluminescence spectrometers. Not only is our new PL microscope option fully confi gurable, it can also be upgraded with additional capability in the future. This ensures that our products keep evolving as new research trends emerge.“

Quantum Cascade Laser Module with a Tunable Frequency Range from 0.42 to 2 THz
Hamamatsu’s breakthrough was achieved by analysing the principle governing the generation of terahertz waves, which enhance the Quantum Cascade Laser’s (QCL) output power and the confi guration of the highly effi cient external cavity, while using our advanced optical design technology.
This research results in generating narrow-band terahertz waves all while switching the frequency of just one QCL module. This technology will help in polymer material identifi cation as well as boost accuracy in quality evaluation for non-destructive inspection of drugs, foods, and semiconductors containing components that absorb terahertz waves. The QCL module using this technology will also prove to be a key innovative device for achieving future ultra-high-speed wireless communication.
The Optica Publishing Group in the electronic version of the scientifi c journal ‘Photonics Research’ published these research results on the 22 February 2022. Part of this research was commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as a ‘Strategic Information and Communications R&D Promotion Program (SCOPE)’ (No. JP195006001).

Powerful Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
Isotopx introduces SIRIX, a new large radius gas source stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer. SIRIX features advanced multicollector technology derived from the Phoenix Thermal Ionisation MS. It also includes the company’s unique, patented ATONA®
amplifi er technology in combination with a high sensitivity, high mass resolution spectrometer design. The result is a powerful, versatile, sensitive, stable isotope mass spectrometer that is intuitive to use, and can also be optimised for the most exacting applications, including the measurement of isotopologues.
Key features include: 9 individually movable Faraday detectors; lLarge 90°27 cm radius magnet; simultaneous measurement of m/z 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49; wide fl ight tube ensures no backgrounds from refl ected ions; mass resolving power of 5,000 is obtainable; better than 10 ppm precision for 48 CO2
/ 44 CO2, within 100 minutes; ATONA®
Users of SIRIX will also benefi t from the capability to signifi cantly increase their throughput compared to existing solution. The exceptionally quiet and stable amplifi er system allows for extended measurement times of sample gas, without the need for repetitive calibration with a reference gas, or calibration of different gain resistors
Zenon Palacz, Managing Director, said: “The addition of a smarter solution for clumped isotopes is a welcome addition to our portfolio. Through direct engagement with the isotopologue community we’ve identifi ed where traditional IRMS systems cannot meet the analytical needs and designed a solution to fi ll that gap. Our experience with larger radius, large magnet instruments from TIMS and noble gas analysis put us in an excellent position to provide this solution. Furthermore, our ATONA® technology lends itself incredibly well to isotopologue applications where there are large variances in isotope abundances.
