The Thermo Scientific™ iXR Raman Spectrometer is a research-grade Raman system specifically designed for integration into multi-modal analytical platforms and in-situ measurements alongside complementary physical and chemical techniques. It enables simultaneous acquisition of molecular-level chemical information and physical property data from the same location and under identical conditions.
Delivering performance comparable to laboratory research Raman spectrometers, the iXR is ideally suited for advanced materials research, product development, and manufacturing environments. Its open optical architecture and free-space optical coupling allow seamless integration with rheometers, extrusion systems, processing equipment, and surface analysis tools such as XPS.
Raman spectroscopy with the iXR provides insight into chemical composition, matrix morphology, phase transitions, and crystallinity, with exceptional sensitivity to carbon nanomaterials including graphene and carbon nanotubes.
