UV Raman spectroscopy removes the risk of fluorescence background to yield cleaner Raman signals and improved signal-to-noise. It enables UV resonance Raman (UVRR), which is a highly selective & sensitive technique that can probe specific parts of biological macromolecules with greatly enhanced signal strength and less noise. UV Raman is an alternative option for highly fluorescent biological samples as well as those materials that suffer from heat damage when excited with a 1064nm laser source.

The new Wasatch WP 248 Raman spectrometer makes UV Raman spectroscopy accessible to a wider range of applications spanning materials analysis, trace detection, and studies of biological structure and dynamics. The addition of the UV Raman spectrometer to the range of Raman colours already offered, enriches the possibilities for this technique with fluorescence-free spectra in the most challenging of applications.

An optional NeCu laser is available to complete your UV Raman spectrometer system. Operating at a wavelength of 248.6nm with a quasi-CW output, the laser is compact, being the size, weight and power cunsumption of a traditional HeNe (633nm) laser, but with an output in the deep UV.
