Anton Paar have introduced the Cora 5001 Raman analyser, available in fibre and direct models. The direct model analyses samples in a closed compartment. A guided analysis procedure means Cora 5001 is suitable for operation by personnel with minimum training. Features include an autofocus to find the spot with the best Raman signal within seconds, Class 1 laser and tailored accessories for liquid and solid samples, pills, foils, microscope slides, and very small samples. The small footprint and battery option make these benchtop Raman instruments versatile tools for analytical tasks in-house or in the field. The Cora 5001 can be used as a stand-alone spectrometer or combined with other Anton Paar or third-party devices, e.g. for in situ monitoring of chemical reactions—combined with microwave-assisted synthesis— or combined with rheometers to simultaneously monitor physical and chemical properties during a curing reaction.
