Raman Spectroscopy
Raman Applications
Other Applications
In addition to the applications outlined in the previous sections, Raman can be applied to:
- Art & Archeology (determination of real and fake objects, restorations, pigment identification, etc.)
- Chemical Education (for qualitative and quantitation courses)
- Gemology (determination of real and fake materials, origin determination, restoration, etc.)
- Geology (inclusion analysis, chemical and mineral identification)
- Treasury Applications (identification of inks, pigments, and paper)
- Food Sciences (identification and quantitation of unsaturation, fat content, etc.)
- SERS (surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy) for trace detection
- Environmental determination of components from fraction of a percent to percent levels
- Glass and Porcelain (composition, glasses, pigments, etc.)
The chemical specificity of the technique, the non-contact and non-destructive nature of the measurement, the ease of sampling, and the ability to measure both organic and inorganic chemistries (where a chemical bond is present) make Raman a powerful chemical analytical technique.
Contact a Kaiser Expert to discuss your applications needs.
