Raman spectroscopy is one of the principal methods of non-destructive chemical analysis at macro- and microscopic levels. It requires minimal sample preparation and is particularly useful in the analysis of molecular structure and geometries. Recent advances in software and instrumentation have transformed Raman from a technique requiring considerable expertise to one of the easiest techniques to use.
Entitled “Introducing Raman Spectroscopy,” this interactive seminar will initially explain the theoretical basis of Raman spectroscopy and will then set out to describe how the technique can provide solutions for routine and research spectroscopic applications. Raman spectroscopy is a versatile technique with applications in several areas including pharmaceutical, semiconductor, forensics, gems and minerals, polymers and protective coatings.
Event highlights include an opportunity to see Raman systems in operation and the opportunity to ask questions about specific applications and choosing the right technology for a laboratory. The concept of using different experimental configurations to maximize the quality of data will be covered, together with other complementary spectroscopic techniques. Raman sample handling techniques and methods will be described and novel data analysis tools will be explained.
