Product Overview
The Bruker RAM II module represents the pinnacle of versatility in vibrational spectroscopy, transforming your INVENIO or VERTEX series spectrometer into a comprehensive multispectral workstation. By utilizing the high-precision interferometer of the host FTIR system, the RAM II delivers the stability and resolution required for demanding research applications. The module’s primary advantage lies in its use of 1064 nm excitation, which virtually eliminates the background fluorescence that typically masks Raman signals in colored or complex organic materials, polymers, and pharmaceuticals.
This non-destructive analytical tool requires no sample preparation, allowing for the direct investigation of powders, liquids, and solids in their original containers. The RAM II features a large sample compartment that accommodates a wide array of pre-aligned accessories, ranging from automated high-throughput screening plates to fiber-optic probes for remote sampling. With fully software-controlled switching between infrared and Raman modes, the RAM II enables researchers to gain a complete molecular "fingerprint" of their samples with unrivaled efficiency and precision.
Key Features
- Superior Fluorescence Suppression: Standard 1064 nm excitation allows for the analysis of highly fluorescent samples that are otherwise impossible to measure with dispersive Raman.
- Dual-Channel Versatility: The first FT-Raman module capable of housing two excitation lines, providing an additional layer of analytical flexibility.
- Seamless Spectrometer Integration: Designed to couple directly with Bruker’s INVENIO and VERTEX FTIR series, leveraging their advanced optical and electronic architectures.
- Ultra-High Sensitivity: Features a proprietary high-sensitivity Germanium detector with a 5-day refrigerant hold time and 24-bit electronics for unsurpassed signal quality.
- Regulatory Compliance: Fully supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, making it suitable for validated pharmaceutical and biotechnology environments.
