TRITON


TRITON

Multimode Raman System

This revolutionary instrument combines three powerful analytical techniques in one flexible benchtop laboratory tool. Exploiting proprietary TRS and SORS technologies, the Triton system is designed to address a wide range of research areas such as pharmaceutical testing (content uniformity of tablets and capsules, materials characterisation), biomedical analysis (non-invasive deep probing of soft and hard tissues) and other analytical applications. The system is optimised for high performance and high flexibility for academic and other R&D environments.

Three Geometries of Operation

As well as three techniques in one (SORS, TRS and Backscatter Raman), the Triton system may be used in three easily interchangeable operational geometries:

Vertical Geometry Horizontal Geometry External SORS Geometry
Ideal for powders, tablets, capsules, tissue etc.; this geometry can be used with TRS, SORS and backscatter Raman. A removable X-Y translation stage allows automated sample manipulation. Optimised for liquids or powders in vials, bottles or other containers; this geometry can also be used with TRS, SORS and backscatter Raman incorporating motorised linear sample motion. With an extendable conduit, the probe can be manually extracted from the base unit to probe larger objects such as liquids or powders in bottles or larger biological samples.

 

3 Raman techniques in one system Example Applications:

The Triton system makes SORS and TRS available for the first time in one instrument. It incorporates two of the most exciting new technologies to emerge in the field of Raman spectroscopy in recent years.

Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS) – a powerful new method for discriminating deep layers or bulk from the surface layer. SORS can measure high quality Raman spectra from materials concealed in opaque and coloured bottles. Inverse-SORS allows measurements with lower laser power density for measurement of biological or other sensitive materials;

Transmission Raman (TRS) – a method for volumetric bulk probing of turbid materials such as powders and suspensions. TRS is ideal for content uniformity analysis of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules as well as chemical/polymorph characterisation in vials and well plates;

Triton also adds surface-based analysis with a wide-area conventional backscatter Raman capability. Triton is the perfect all-round flexible instrument for your research laboratory.
