Benefits
Complete trace detection solution
Detection of analytes present as a minority component in a mixture – whether at 10% or 10-7% – can be a complex, expensive, time-consuming, and challenging task. SERS permits detection and identification of analytes in concentrations as low as parts per billion.
Trace analysis with SERS can be fast, convenient, and inexpensive. MISA is a dedicated SERS analyzer that retains all of the appealing features of Raman – portable equipment, multi-analyte detection capabilities, and rapid analysis.
Systems
MISA BASIC
Metrohm Instant SERS Analyzer (MISA) is a high performance, portable analyzer system used for rapid, trace level detection / identification of illicit materials, food additives and food contaminants. MISA features a high-efficiency spectrograph equipped with Metrohm's unique Orbital-Raster-Scan (ORS) technology. It has a minimal footprint and extended battery life, perfect for on-site testing or mobile laboratory applications. MISA offers various Laser Class 1 attachments for flexible sampling options. Analyzer operation is available through BlueTooth or USB connectivity.
The MISA Basic package allows users to customize MISA to suit their needs. It is a starter package that contains the basic components for performing SERS analyses using Metrohm's nanoparticle solutions.
The MISA Basic package includes the MISA instrument, a MISA Vial Attachment, a USB Mini Cable, a USB Power Supply and MISA Cal software for operating the instrument.
MISA Advanced
