The acquisition of B&W Tek LLC by Metrohm AG in July 2018 has created one of the largest solution providers for applied Raman spectroscopy. Beginning May 1, 2019, Metrohm USA and Metrohm Canada will begin selling B&W Tek mobile spectroscopy solutions.

The addition of the B&W Tek products complements Metrohm’s existing Raman and near-IR solutions for lab and process to include handheld 1064-nm Raman systems, portable Raman analyzers for laboratory and field use as well as solutions for Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS).

With the addition of this new line of B&W Tek products, Metrohm expands its portfolio of versatile, easy-to-use solutions that can be configured to the needs of individual customers for use in virtually any industry or for any application. The B&W Tek products, which include NanoRam^®and NanoRam^®-1064, TacticID^®, i-Raman^® Prime and QTRam^®, will maintain their respective branding during the transition.

Metrohm’s spectroscopy product development and manufacturing will expand with B&W Tek’s expertise and facilities. In addition to the added support from B&W Tek’s specialists, customers worldwide will have the benefit of application support and service provided through trained and certified experts from more than 80 Metrohm companies and exclusive distributors in 120 countries worldwide.

i-Raman ‒ High Resolution TE Cooled Raman Spectrometer
B&W Tek, Inc.
The i-Raman® is unique for its high resolution combined with field-portability, with performance comparable to large bench-top Raman systems and weighing less than 7lbs The i-Raman® is equipped with B&W Tek’s patented CleanLaze® technology for exceptional laser stabilization and narrow linewidth. Other features include a spectral resolution as fine as 3cm-1, wide Raman shift coverage up to 4000cm-1, and a TE cooled 2048 pixel CCD array. With a convenient fiber optic interface, it can collect data to within 65cm-1 of the Rayleigh Line.It is unique for its high resolution combined with field-portability, with performance comparable to large bench-top Raman systems and weighing less than 7 lbs. The system’s small footprint, lightweight design, and low power consumption provides research grade Raman capabilities anywhere!The i-Raman offers 532nm, 785nm, and 830nm excitation wavelength options. All i-Raman systems feature deep TE Cooling, allowing the maximum effective integration to be 4 minutes. This makes the i-Raman ideal for demanding applications involving low concentrations and weak Raman scatterers.i-Raman ‒ High Resolution TE Cooled Raman Spectrometer Features: Patented CleanLaze® Technology for Laser Stabilization 175cm-1 of the Rayleigh Line (65cm-1 Option Available) Fiber Optic Interface for Convenient Sampling Spectral Resolution of 3cm-1 Wide Raman Shift Coverage TE Cooled 2048 Pixel Array
