Rigaku FirstGuard Handheld Raman XRF Analyzer 1064nm

1064 nm Handheld Raman Spectrometer

The FirstGuard with 1064nm laser sets a new industry standard for identification of a significantly broader range of raw materials for rapid validation, while maintaining key customer requirements such as ease-of-use, portability, affordability and reliability.
Due to chronic fluorescence interference, competing 785nm instruments can only be used to verify a fraction of common materials used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical and consumer goods products. The First-Guard with 1064nm can minimize, and often eliminate, fluorescence issues for most sample types providing broader compound coverage.
The use of FirstGuard with 1064nm also enables analysis through dark glass and plastic packages – something that is difficult to achieve with 785nm spectrometers.
