Accurate material identification

Raman spectroscopy provides instant analysis of unknown materials both inside and outside of the laboratory. It is especially useful for identification of illicit materials. Large, targeted libraries are essential for accurate results in critical situations.

Metrohm has comprehensive, up-to-date, high-resolution spectral libraries developed with our own instruments. This results in a more trustworthy, more precise analysis of substances and mixtures. Metrohm library development is a continuous process. We are expanding our libraries daily and our regular updates keep you out in front.
