FI-Lite SeriesPortable Raman for Liquids
Rapid on-site inspection of liquid samples
A high-performance Raman spectrometer in a one-piece protective clamshell, sized for liquid samples and SERS substrates. Four models at 785 or 830 nm, on Android or Windows.
Instrument
FI-Lite Clamshell Analyser
The screen folds over the sample bay like a laptop lid, protecting both in transport. The sample port sits on the top face of the base.
System Highlights
Features and Benefits
The FI-Lite trades the fibre probe of the FI-FO for a built-in sample port, a lighter housing and fanless operation — the right shape for liquids and SERS work in the field.
Laptop-Style Protection
The overhead lid design makes the whole machine sturdier and more durable; there is nothing to pack separately.
Fanless Heat Dissipation
Passive cooling with no fan to fail or draw dust — stability and reliability for on-site use.
Made for Liquids and SERS
Suited to liquid samples in vials and to SERS enhancers for trace-level rapid checks.
10-Inch Touch Screen
A large capacitive touch screen and an interactive interface that is easy to operate.
Windows or Android
Windows for convenient data processing and analysis; Android for fast checks, recommended with SERS enhancers for flexible on-site testing. Both include the built-in library.
More Than 4 Hours on Battery
A 10200 mAh, 75 Wh built-in battery; 12 V DC or 100–240 V AC external power at the bench.
Configurations
Four Models, Two Wavelengths
The suffix selects the operating system: -A for Android 7.1, -W for Windows 10. The E variants add a cooled CCD.
