SciX 2021 Preview
- Raman
- Raman Spectrometers
Join us at SciX 2021, Booth 312 from Sept. 27-29 in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. This is our first in-person event in more than a year and will will focus the spotlight on our Raman offering.
In addition to the live meeting experience, SciX 2021 will provide post-meeting access to programs and presentations via an on-demand library. For those that do plan to attend, here’s what to expect from us.
Featured Products
Ocean HDX Raman Spectrometer.
Less expensive than traditional scientific-grade Raman instruments yet sacrificing very little in performance, Ocean HDX Raman is a compact, high-performance spectrometer for 785 nm Raman excitation applications. Ocean HDX Raman unlocks Raman signature data from 150 cm-1 to 3400 cm-1 and is great for applications including identification of polymers and characterization of pharmaceutical ingredients.
Multipurpose Absorbance Spectrometer.
Using our popular Flame spectrometer – distinguished by its thermal stability, excellent unit-to-unit consistency and interchangeable slits – we configure a modular setup for absorbance. Flame spectrometers are available in UV-Vis (200-850 nm), Vis-NIR (350-1000 nm) and extended-range (200-1025 nm) versions, with custom configurations also possible.

Title: Enhancing Spectral Repeatability and Limits of Detection Using Liquid Phase Nanoparticles for Quantitative Raman
Author: Derek Guenther, Senior Applications Scientist
Schedule: Monday, Sept. 27, 2021, 2:10-2:30 p.m. (EDT)
Location: Meeting Room 558 (Fifth Floor)
Abstract: As the pandemic has fueled the need for new, rapid detection methods, much of the focus has been on optical techniques for their speed and portability. One detection method that has seen much growth and commercial adoption over the last decade is SERS, or Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. While SERS consumable substrates are offered in a variety of flavors and form factors from many suppliers, one inherent limitation to all is their repeatability within and between production batches. A separate approach is presented here that leaves the signal-enhancing nanoparticles in aqueous suspension and allows the analyte interaction and Raman enhancement to occur in the liquid phase.
Our Presenters
"I joined Ocean Insight believing that there would be no better place to innovate in photonics than at such an iconic company. That has been 100% true."
"There’s a critical bridge between creativity and science. And that connection really feeds into the idea of discovering what can be done that was not done before."
"So many researchers, scientists and engineers are using our products to make measurements in places and ways never imagined. They’re the ones who make the world a better place through optical sensing."
