Spectrally X1 LAB / LAB+ Benchtop Raman Analyzer
Spectrally X1 LAB is a benchtop Raman analyzer for fast chemical identification and material characterisation in QC and R&D laboratories. It gives a result in seconds with little or no sample preparation, and it can measure through transparent packaging without opening it. An automatic carousel takes up to 25 samples in glass vials or quartz cuvettes.
X1 LAB+ adds a reference library of more than 28,000 spectra. Both versions run the same Spectrally OS models as the X1 INLINE process analyzer, so a model built and validated in the lab moves to the production line without being rebuilt. That makes X1 LAB the usual starting point for feasibility work before an inline installation.
