Efficient Mitigation of Fluorescence in Raman Spectroscopy Using SSE™
Author(s)Tom Tague
Handheld Raman spectrometers are now designed and built for practical everyday use in a vast array of applications. The new BRAVO by Bruker takes handheld Raman Spectroscopy to a new level, overcoming the limitations of previously available systems such as limited wavelength accuracy, non-safe laser usage and fluorescence interference. Now with BRAVO wavelength accuracy is significantly better than competitive devices resulting in the highest data consistency and the BRAVO incorporates new technology called Sequentially Shifted Excitation (SSE™) to mitigate fluorescence.

In this segment of our SciX interview with Kevin Wilkinson, a professor of environmental chemistry at the Université de Montréal, discusses extending lead isotope work to greater distances and explains why graduate students need adaptability, critical judgment, and coding skills more than expertise in any single instrument.

Atomic spectroscopy has quietly gone from counting elements in bulk to counting single nanoparticles, imaging tissue at the micrometer scale, and reading Martian rocks from several meters away. The instruments got smaller, the software got smarter, and the questions they can now answer got a lot more interesting.
