Raman Spectroscopy Solutions for General Chemical - Chemical & Pharmaceuticals - Fine Chemicals
Raman spectroscopy is rapidly growing in popularity as a tool for general chemical analysis. From incoming raw materials for production to final quality control measurements, Raman’s ability to provide qualitative and quantitative information increases its utilization in a variety of industries.
General Chemical Application Notes
UV-Visible spectroscopy is a workhorse for chemical analysis for quality control. Fluorescence is more common in the life sciences where sensitivity and selectivity are important. Raman is rapidly becoming the technique of choice for quality control in the chemical industry - from raw materials to finished goods.
Urea in Ethanol
In this application note, we present the quantification of the urea concentration in ethanol by Raman Spectroscopy and show how this method can be employed to determine urea percentage in a solid inclusion compound with stearic acid.
This Application Note describes the Raman spectroscopy identification of polymers such as ABS, PE, PS, PET and PMMA in various dyes. Rapid and non-destructive determination occurs after a suitable spectrum database has been created. Raman measurements require no sample preparation and provide immediate and unambiguous results.

Organic solvents like isopropyl alcohol are required to produce many beauty and cosmetic products, paints, fragrances, and synthesis reactions – particularly in pharmaceutical applications.
In this work, isopropyl alcohol samples from two suppliers were analyzed, and the differences in the spectra were investigated. The spectra showed subtle differences, allowing a supplier-specific identification.
