SPE-if metal.ID + raman.ID

Fully automated metal and inorganice particle ID

The equipment is designed to identify contaminants larger than 20 µm in medical devices and sterile pharmaceutical products such as parenterals with the use of integrated LIBS spectroscopy. Particle samples are collected for metal.ID on standard Cellulose Nitrate, similar filter papers, or filtr.AID patches.
