DIY Systems
Pre-configured systems make start-up simple.
Complete customization gives you control.
It’s spectroscopy as easy as 1…2…3!
The easiest way to get started
Define It Yourself…whether you need a UV-Visible reflectance, fluorescence, near-infrared transmission, or Raman scattering, we have what you need to get started.
Design It Yourself…using our ultra-stable lasers, broadband light sources, spectrometers, fiber-optic probes, sample holders and other accessories, all at your fingertips. Go from breadboard to brass board to fully operational prototype faster than ever before.
Develop It Yourself…by assembling your chosen components on our convenient portable optical bench. Easily evaluate performance/price trade-offs by swapping components to discover the difference for yourself.
Differentiate It Yourself… by customizing any of our component designs to meet the exacting requirements of your OEM development project.
Discover-It-Yourself Systems
Our Discover-It-Yourself product line features pre-configured and fully-customizable systems. Pre-configured systems include Raman, Low-Frequency Raman, Extended-Range Raman, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy systems. If these systems don't match your application, we offer full customization with a wide range of lasers, broadband light sources, detection modules, and sampling interfaces.

Low Frequency Raman Systems
Our Low-Frequency DIY Raman systems measure from -250 cm-1 in the anti-Stokes region to the C-H stretch in the Stokes region. Powerful filters eliminate scattering within about 5 cm-1 of the laser line to give you access to structural Raman data that is unavailable through traditional Raman techniques.

Extended Range Raman Systems
The Extended-Range Raman DIY systems use patented technology to capture a Raman spectrum over a wider spectral range than traditional Raman systems while maintaining high spectral resolution. By adding the entire Raman "stretch" region, you can measure both the moisture content as well as structural details in the fingerprint with the same system. This capability is ideal for the analysis of plant materials and hygroscopic systems.
