FI-FO SeriesPortable Raman with Fibre Probe
Laboratory-instrument performance that travels in a case
A high-performance Raman spectrometer built into a strong protective case, with a flexible fibre probe for on-site rapid inspection and laboratory research alike. Five models at 785, 830 or 1064 nm.
Instrument
FI-FO in Its Protective Case
Spectrometer, laser, battery and 10-inch touch screen in one case; the fibre probe reaches the sample wherever it is. Supplier branding removed from the public photo.
System Highlights
Features and Benefits
The FI-FO is an integrated design: nothing to connect on site beyond the probe, and nothing to leave behind in the lab.
Integrated Protective Design
The whole instrument ships in one rugged case with no additional accessories to assemble — convenient and practical for transport.
Flexible Raman Fibre Probe
Bring the measurement to the sample: vials, bags, reaction vessels and surfaces that cannot be placed in a sample chamber.
Three Excitation Wavelengths
785 nm for the widest range and best resolution, 830 nm for fluorescent samples, 1064 nm with a cooled InGaAs array for the most difficult ones.
10-Inch Touch Screen
A large capacitive touch screen and an interactive interface that is easy to operate without training.
Built-In Library
Fast comparison against a built-in spectral library, with the Raman Spectrum Software app on Android or Windows.
More Than 4 Hours on Battery
A 10200 mAh, 75 Wh built-in battery for portable use; 12 V DC or 100–240 V AC external power at the bench.
Configurations
Five Models, Three Wavelengths
The suffix selects the operating system: -A for Android 7.1, -W for Windows 10. The E variants add a cooled detector.
