Raman spectroscopy is a promising analysis technique that until recently clashed with the ATEX guidelines. This is over once you can ensure the 35mW limit and select an intrinsically safe device.
Its high specificity and applicability to both solids and liquids in all solvents, including water, make it the spectroscopy technology of the future. In various branches of industry within biotech, pharmacy, food and petrochemicals, there are already several applications in which Raman has earned its permanent place.
