The Thermo Scientific™ DXR3 Flex Raman Spectrometer is a research-grade Raman spectrometer specifically designed for seamless integration with other analytical techniques. This compact system is built on the same advanced optical design and architecture as the DXR3 Raman Spectrometer research platform, delivering high-quality Raman data while enabling flexible hyphenation and portability without compromising analytical performance.
Often described as a “Raman engine,” the DXR3 Flex features an open architecture that allows custom coupling to almost any type of equipment, in virtually any orientation. By combining Raman spectroscopy with complementary techniques in a single experimental setup, users can eliminate multiple measurements and assumptions, obtaining more complete answers faster.
With DXR3 Flex, a single measurement can provide insight into a sample’s physical, chemical, and structural characteristics, all acquired simultaneously and under identical conditions. The system is well suited for advanced materials characterization, chemical identification, process monitoring, and real-time analysis in both research and applied environments.
