Characterize physical and chemical properties with confocal Raman microscopy
Microplastic particles can be identified and chemically characterized using their Raman spectra and the integrated Raman database management software.

ParticleScout enables unprecedented speed and ease of use for microparticle analysis with Raman microscopy through the automated integration of optical components, advanced algorithms, spectroscopic capabilities and spectral database software.
Particles smaller than 1 µm can be analyzed in detail. "Image Stitching" and "Focus Stacking" are features that make it very convenient to work with large samples and possible to generate image data for precisely categorizing particles according to physical attributes.
For identification, a Raman spectrum is automatically recorded from each particle and assigned to the corresponding substance with the help of the integrated WITec Raman database software.
This seamless combination of a particle analysis tool with a spectral database is unique in the industry and provides an optimized workflow to increase productivity.
Finally, ParticleScout generates comprehensive reports that quantify the particles of interest.
Fields of application include microplastics research, environmental analysis, pharmaceutics, geology, food science and many others.
