InVia Raman microscope from Renishaw plc

Medcom Advance, S.A. has a wide experience working on Raman and SERS Spectroscopy

Let us know your specific application!

The inVia Raman microscope (Renishaw plc.) is a highly sensitive Raman spectrograph that allows analyzing the chemical and structural composition of a wide portfolio of materials. The equipment can operate in diverse modes, and can generate high quality images but also specific discrete data.

Our expertise arises on the SERS, where plasmonic surfaces covered by Raman emitters are employed.

Software:

Renishaw’s Windows-based Raman Environment (WiRE 3.4) is the software developed by Renishaw plc. to control the acquisition of spectral data and to provide users with data processing and analysis tools. Among others, WiRE allows to automatically remove cosmic rays and subtract baselines from all spectra in a hyperspectral map. It can be used to identify different materials when searched against a spectral library, calculate concentrations, or perform particle statistics.
