SENTINEL® is a Raman spectrometer developed for process control
and automated lab applications. The system utilizes an On-Axis spectrograph,
optimized for Raman spectroscopy and one standard grating covering the most
widely used Raman signature range. The patent pending curve slit correction
for aberration free imaging, low noise CCD and innovative technology in
signal processing result in excellent signal to noise ratio and maximum
performance.
The
instrument has no moving parts, being free from mechanical wear it requires
low maintenance. The integrated diode laser provides 532 nm or 785 nm with
various power levels available. The system comes equipped with a Class 3
light-tight safety enclosure with interlocks in 19" rack configuration.
The
SENTINEL® is compatible for a choice of laboratory, siteglass and
process immersion probes, allowing real time process monitoring from a
remote location. The Raman UniLab Research probe is a high sensitivity
device designed to utilize both large illumination and collection areas. The
large area illumination design reduces the susceptibility of sample
misalignment as well as decreases the effects of heterogeneity issues of the
sample, resulting in superior averaging capability.
The
SENTINEL® utilizes Sure_Cal® calibration technology, a
method for achieving a standard Raman spectrum that has both short and long
term precision and accuracy. The Sure_Cal® technology allows for
the collection of the standard spectrum independent of any instrument
instabilities. The Raman spectrum of the sample, the laser/neon spectrum and
the neon spectrum are collected simultaneously.
