Custom Systems

Cobalt can supply customer-specified systems for

based on its dedicated LiteThru™ Engine.

The LiteThru™ Engine is a flexible module for implementing SORS and TRS in a production or research environment; it is a self-contained unit driven by dedicated PC software that allows full control of all aspects of its operation.


Custom system
 

The LiteThru™ Engine is fibre-coupled to a dedicated SORS or TRS probe unit, which can be detached and re-attached quickly and easily. The head contains opto-mechanical elements that enable computer control of parameters such as spatial offset and the monitoring of laser power.
 

SORS Probes

A number of SORS probes are available for a range of applications. The two standard geometries are ring illumination (inverse SORS) and point collection. Inverse SORS has the advantages of reducing laser power densities for light-sensitive applications such as biomedical uses. All probes are fully automated and controlled in software.

SORS point and ring illumination (inverse SORS) geometries. Red represents the collection spots and blue represents the illumination region(s).
Examples of applications of our SORS instruments are:

  • Security analysis of containers
  • Biomedical analysis of sub-surface tissue
  • Raw materials ID of incoming chemicals/pharmaceuticals through containers
  • Non-invasive stability testing of containers
  • Counterfeit drug monitoring
