Raman applications span an ever-expanding range of use cases, from mobile identification in the field to medical diagnostics at point of care, from routine analytical work to advanced scientific research. Different use cases require a different balance of size, weight, spectral range, resolution, integration, and system cost. Wasatch offers four Raman platforms, from the pocket-size XS to the benchtop XL, enabling you to select the system architecture best aligned with your use case and deployment plans.
At Wasatch we know that no two Raman applications are the same, so to serve both the established and emerging Raman applications we have developed a comprehensive family of Raman products. Sharing a common design philosophy, but with different price / performance metrics in mind, we have developed a suite of Raman products to serve the ever-increasing breadth of Raman applications.
The X series is Wasatch’s most versatile Raman platform, combining full spectral range, extensive configurability, and laboratory-ready usability. Supporting applications from routine analysis to advanced development, the X platform incorporates an OEM-ready optical bench within a CE-marked Raman system, offering you both immediate laboratory utility and a potential launch point for future product commercialization.
For true handheld Raman deployment, the XS platform prioritizes compact size, integrated functionality, and ease of use. Designed for mobile field applications, the XS combines Raman performance with smartphone-based operation, enabling non-specialists to perform push-button measurements.
With application-specific front-end accessories and customizable spectral analysis, the XS offers you a rapid path to a mobile Raman solution.
For demanding portable applications, the XM platform offers stronger signal, excellent resolution, and a temperature-stabilized scientific CCD in a compact OEM-ready footprint. Designed for robust field deployment, the XM builds on Wasatch’s proven transmission optics architecture and serves as a flexible, high-performance Raman engine for your fingerprint-region, portable, Raman development.
For applications demanding maximum sensitivity, lowest dark noise, longest measurement times, and highest spectral performance, the XL platform is Wasatch’s flagship research solution. Featuring a scientific ultra-cooled camera, custom data collection schemes, and premium spectral performance, the XL is optimized for your advanced laboratory and specialized high-performance Raman applications.
We created a simple visual guide to explain the features and benefits of the 4 models in the Wasatch Raman product family. For each of the X, XS, XM and XL models we compare:
Based on the FWHM of naturally narrow Raman peaks, the WP XL spectrometer provides the highest spectral resolution. Despite its compact size, the WP XS delivers resolution comparable to the WP 785X series.
