Working Principle

The EDGE3000 uses Raman spectroscopy to identify materials through the interaction between laser light and molecular vibrations. Its 785 nm laser illuminates the sample, and the instrument detects the Raman-scattered light, which contains spectral features characteristic of the material's molecular structure.

The spectrometer records the Raman spectrum across 150–3400 cm⁻¹. The analysis software then compares the measured spectrum with reference data in the built-in or user-created database. Matching results support rapid substance identification and screening.

This approach enables non-destructive analysis of suitable samples. Identification accuracy depends on sample characteristics, spectral quality, database coverage, and measurement conditions.
