HORIBA MacroRAM Raman Spectrometer - English Introduction

The HORIBA MacroRAM is a benchtop integrated Raman spectrometer specifically designed for industrial users and teaching laboratories, launched by HORIBA Scientific in 2012. This system is renowned for its compact design (432×432×381mm) and high sensitivity, making it ideal for rapid analysis of solids, liquids, powders, and gel samples.

Core Technical Features

1. Optical System:

   • Equipped with a 785nm diode laser (adjustable power 7-450mW)
   • Features a 120mm focal length aberration-corrected flat-field concave grating spectrometer
   • Spectral range covers 100-3400cm⁻¹ (Stokes) with optional anti-Stokes configuration (-1700 to 1700cm⁻¹)
   • Delivers resolution of 6cm⁻¹@900nm

2. Detection Module:

   • Integrated back-illuminated NIR CCD detector (2048×70 pixels)
   • Cooled to -50°C to reduce dark current (0.05e⁻/pixel/s)
   • Offers dynamic range up to 42,550:1 for high-precision weak signal detection

3. Safety Design:

   • Complies with Class 1 laser safety standards
   • Sample chamber features interlock mechanism
   • External probe supports Class 3b safety operation

Application Advantages

• Flexible Sampling:

  • Standard fiber optic interface (100μm core) for remote probe connection
  • Supports irregular or large-volume sample detection
  • Optional thermostated cuvette holder (-20°C to +80°C) for temperature-sensitive experiments

• Intelligent Software:

  • LabSpec 6 spectroscopy suite with multivariate analysis, database search and auto-calibration functions
  • Streamlines data processing workflow

• Multi-scenario Adaptability:

  • Widely used in pharmaceutical raw material identification, polymer composition analysis, gemstone identification and environmental microplastic detection
  • Particularly suitable for industrial QC and undergraduate teaching

Industry Recognition
The system is ISO 9001 certified, with technical support and one-year warranty service provided by HORIBA Shanghai branch in China. Typical users include electronics manufacturers like Foxconn, and it has been highly recommended in the 2024 university equipment renewal program for its cost-performance ratio and stability.
