Finder EdgeHandheld Raman
Raman on mobile, library in hand
An instant, compact handheld Raman analyser for non-technical users: identify a sample on site, in the lab or in the warehouse with one click — through the transparent container it came in.
Instrument
Finder Edge with a Sample Vial
The analyser measures straight through a glass vial. The touch-screen app shows the spectrum and the library match — here acetonitrile at 0.9682 correlation. Supplier branding removed from the public photo.
System Highlights
Built for On-Site Inspection
Finder Edge puts a complete Raman spectrometer, a spectral library and the decision logic in a 480 g housing, so the person holding it needs no spectroscopy background.
Small and Convenient
180 × 88.5 × 33 mm and 480 g — carried in a pocket to the warehouse, the checkpoint or the field.
Non-Contact Through Containers
Raman needs no sample contact: measure through glass and transparent plastic packaging without opening it.
One-Click Recognition
Press once; the analyser records the spectrum, searches the built-in library and reports the match.
Up to 6 Hours Runtime
A full shift of on-site measurement on one charge, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to move results off the device.
Cloud Monitoring Platform
Results can feed an intelligent supervision platform covering production, circulation and use — for food and drug oversight across many sites.
High-End Customisation
Appearance, software functions, algorithms, sample rack and whole-machine design can be customised, with a complete application solution matched to the requirement.
