The SERS chip’s active area is formed using an ultra-short pulse laser on a soda-lime glass substrate. The SERS chip substrate material is a weak Raman scattered and therefore particularly suitable for SERS application (as compared to most crystalline materials). Therefore, our SERS chip will give very strong Raman signal on the probe molecule with low background signal from the substrate itself.

The SERS chips are made from patented techniques where the resulting surface structure features a stochastic nanopattern with features from few nanometers to almost a micron in size. These features have very good resonance characteristics for various excitation wavelengths and adsorbed analyte molecules. Analyte molecules, attached in the proximity of a certain combination of nano-features may experience the so called ‘hot spot’ effect, which leads to extremely high enhancement of Raman scattering. A single SERS chip can be used for various experimental conditions, different analytes and results in a very high relative enhancement ratio of the Raman scattering up to 106.

All SERS chips are vacuum packed in cleanroom environment with no glue or other chemical substances added, eliminating the risk of contamination.

Technospex offer various highly integrated motorized XY microscope stages for precise positional control of the spot and mapping measurement. All our motorized stages have inbuilt measuring system and simple coaxial drive control which offers 1um or better repeatability with quiet operation. These motorized stages can be used for a wide range of sample holders; specimens and samples in many types of microscopy or imaging techniques and applications.

These motorized stages are computer controlled and integrated with our uSoft program. With the control via uSoft, users can easily position their sample down to 50nm step size for our uRaman or uSight modules. These motorized stages are ideal for automatically positioning a wide range of samples for Raman mapping or multiple point spectral measurement up to 75mm x 50mm is possible.

Where measurement of liquid is required, Technospex offers original design cuvette holder enables user to perform liquid measurement with standard cuvette. Our cuvette holder is compact, modular design and can direct-attach to the microscope objective nose piece which integrate seamlessly with our uRaman and uSight series. Once attached, there is no further alignment is required. The new cuvette holder is low cost and ingenious accessory that empower micro-Raman microscope system to perform Raman measurement of the liquid sample in a standard cuvette, i.e. 45 (H) × 12.5 (W) × 12.5(H) mm cuvette.

Inside the new cuvette holder design, we use a macro-lens to focus the laser into the cuvette to maximize signal collection and throughput over the 1 cm pathlength cuvettes. This enable signal from a large collection volume and more representative Raman signal. It is a much have multipurpose cuvette holder for uv-vis, fluorescence and Raman measurement for liquid measurement.

Universal style CE certified Laser Safety Goggles: featuring a large frame that can be worn comfortably over prescription glasses, and equipped with side shields and solid top shields to protect the user’s eyes from laser radiation while maintaining peripheral vision. The frame arm length can be adjusted to suit different temple size, and the Laser safety ratings are printed onto the lenses for easy reference.
