New Metrohm Raman Library updates expand applications reach

Metrohm Spectro has launched the latest update to the Metrohm Comprehensive Raman Library (MCRL). This release represents a significant upgrade for TacticID, MIRA XTR and i-Raman systems, with over 27,749 entries.

With >27,700 substance, the MCRL simplifies material identification for Raman customers in diverse industries. Library metadata includes compound descriptions and physical properties, as well as safety information, making it ideal for instant analysis of unknown materials.

Metrohm acquires high-resolution spectral libraries using its own instruments. All entries are collected at 785 and 1064 nm for the highest level of matching accuracy. An XTR fluorescence rejection algorithm is also used in data collection resulting in superior library matching for the most challenging compounds.

As appropriate, SERS spectra are also collected to increase the sensitivity of Raman for trace chemical identification. Creating Metrohm libraries using Metrohm instruments provides the most trustworthy and precise analysis of substances and mixtures.

Sub-libraries offer faster, targeted identification for known samples. For broader applications, larger libraries such as the Illicit and General Chemical Library or the complete Organics Library are available. Specialized libraries, including those for personal care products, minerals, and chemical warfare agents, cater to highly specific needs, from industrial production to national security.
