XS series Raman Spectrometers – Wasatch Photonics

Ultrasensitive Raman in the palm of your hand

We’re revolutionizing handheld Raman with an ultra-compact, battery-powered, field-deployable system with unprecedented sensitivity at a commercial sensor price point in volume. It combines our signature high-NA optics, patented HD broadband gratings, and an uncooled CMOS camera into our most compact optical bench yet. The result? High sensitivity and rapid measurements in an ultralight, miniaturized, thermally stable engine. Snap on one of our application-specific accessories, or design your own to match the free-space interface with laser interlock for complete customization & control. It’s superior Raman – in the palm of your hand.

XS series Raman Spectrometers – Wasatch Photonics


Compact, field-deployable Raman – without compromise

The XS series was designed to fulfill our mission of ‘Bringing Raman to Life’ – small enough to be used in the back of an ambulance or by field inspectors, sensitive & stable enough to give accurate & dependable answers, and cost-effective enough to open up new markets and use cases for Raman. Consistent with this mission, we are offering both an XS model for point sampling of materials (point-and-shoot, liquids, and powders), and an XSB model for line sampling of biomaterials (SERS substrates, lateral flow assays, inhomogeneous samples). Take a look at the spectra and features you can expect from the XS series:
