Raman Probe Sample Holders
Ocean Optics offers sample holders for Raman analysis of liquids and solids. The holders accommodate Raman probes from 9.5 mm-12.7 mm diameter, and 1 cm pathlength cuvettes and vials of various dimensions.
RM-SERS-SHS-MP
Ideal for SERS substrates
RM-LQ-SHS
Accommodates vials and cuvettes
OOA-RAMAN-SH
Holder for vial and cuvette measurements
OOA-RAMAN-RFA
Holder for Raman, fluorescence, absorbance and reflectance
The RM-SERS-SHS-MP holder is ideal for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, which comprise nanoparticle chemistries on slides. The holder accommodates standard glass SERS slides and connects to a Raman probe. The RM-SERS-SHS-MP provides accurate positioning for the Raman measurement, avoids the influence of ambient light, and improves the accuracy of the Raman measurement.
The RM-LQ-SHS holder accommodates vials and cuvettes. It has a magnetic cover, making it easy to load and unload samples, block ambient light, and improve the accuracy of Raman measurements.
The OOA-RAMAN-SH sample holder allows for vial and cuvette measurements with a positioning screw to optimize the focus of the laser onto the sample.
The OOA-HOLDER-RFA is a multipurpose sampling fixture that acts as a holder for Raman, fluorescence, absorbance and reflection measurements. Unlike other Raman sample holders, the OOA-HOLDER-RFA can be adjusted for a variety of lab techniques.
