Full Detail

1st generation Raman spectrometers were limited to laboratory instruments. 2nd generation systems� although portable� were costly and struggled with repeatability and sensitivity. BaySpec’s 3rd generation Agility? delivers highly repeatable and sensitive results in a sleek� transportable� battery-operated package. With available Quick-Change Sample options� a variety of sample types can be accommodated either within the Agility? sample chamber or externally� via a fiber probe. The Agility? is also unique in its availability in single band (532� 785� 1064 nm) or a dual band (532/1064� 785/1064 nm) in the same compact footprint. The base unit comprises laser(s)� spectrometer(s)� onboard touch-screen computer� and base unit with supplied side-looking sample holder for vials� cuvettes� or pills.

The Agility? employs a highly efficient volume phase grating (VPG?) as the spectral dispersion element and a cooled CCD or InGaAs array detector� thereby providing high-speed parallel processing and continuous spectral measurement. High reliability (MIL STD 810 shock and vibration) is achieved through a rugged mechanical design with no moving parts. Periodic calibration is not required� but can be performed automatically. Convenient USB interface for outputting data or control via external computer is provided� along with integrated WiFi (optional) for remote control of all system functions. The included Agile20/20? software platform allows full control of spectral acquisition as well as library search functionality.

The BaySpec Agility? series offers users the most versatile sampling options available� with a number of Quick-Change inserts that can be rapidly exchanged within the base system. These inserts maintain the precise optical alignment necessary to ensure high-quality spectral acquisition� and accommodate a number of sample types. These options include a vial/cuvette holder for liquids and powders� a fiber adapter for attachment of a remote fiber probe� a solid sample insert with upright or inverted configuration� and a pill holder for liquid and solid capsules.
