Introduction
Overview
The IDRaman mini is the smallest, most powerful handheld Raman instrument available today. Designed
to make rapid and accurate measurements that identify, authenticate and verify samples, the IDRaman
mini is ideal for:
• Authentication analysis
• Counterfeit detection
• Rapid material identification
• Verification of incoming materials
• Harsh and demanding environments
• In-line or at-line testing
From rugged field measurements of chemical and explosive agents to quality assurance and quality
control in the laboratory, the IDRaman mini is a truly compact choice for fast and accurate measurements.
IDRaman uses an internal calibration routine to ensure the most accurate Raman shift data is acquired.
Measuring most samples in less than 9 seconds, the IDRaman provides visual confirmation of results and
displays both the sample and library spectrum with a confidence factor. You can store a library of
thousands of compounds in the IDRaman. Using a proprietary fluorescence rejection algorithm, the
IDRaman mini minimizes both false positive and false negative results. With IDRaman’s Raster Orbital
Scanning technology, the limitation of weak signals from unknown and non-uniform samples is
overcome.
