LabRAM HR Evolution by HORIBA Scientific

"This model is very user friendly and powerful tool for research. It is has been very productive for our research and it is extensively used by our group. Results are reproducible and reliable in this machine. The price is very competitive and the instrument is a value for money. I would recommend it to everyone in nanoscience and nanotechnology and materials science. This instrument has been an asset for our group."

"The product is excellent for our needs. Optical spectroscopy is a fast technique to assess material properties or to carry out molecular fingerprinting. It is applicable in materials research and biomedical research."

"Good equipment, very versatile."

"High quality and reproducible results. The high flexibility of set up allows fantastic analysis conditions. Timely and careful assistance."

"The LabRAM HR Evolution Raman Microscope from HORIBA Scientific, is a very easy to use, yet very powerful instrument that can obtain spectra easily. The microscope provides an unbeatable combination of fully automated hardware controlled by their LabSpec 6 software. It features advanced 2D and 3D confocal imaging capabilities, and fully automated extended wavelength range capability from basic spectrum acquisition to hyperspectral confocal imaging. The fully automated system can have up to 6 lasers, filters, 4 detectors, polarization, microscope functions, fiber options, and calibration and alignment flexibility. Suitable for a wide range of applications including life sciences, pharmaceuticals, materials analysis, semiconductor, forensics, and geology. In essence, the LabRAM HR Evolution is the ultimate instrument for Raman spectroscopy."

"Very good equipment if you know how to use it. There are some option to add. The photoluminescence and Labspec software and the rapid identification algorithm could be improved."

"I recommend this system for researchers who are dealing with organic and inorganic materials, and who would like to study 2D and nano-sized carbon materials."

"High vitiality product, allows us to work with different types of samples."

"I think this Raman microscopy system is very sensitive but not very user-friendly. I also think that the material used to construct the instrument is not very high quality."
