Rigaku Corporation has announced that Rigaku Analytical Devices (RAD), a leading provider of innovative handheld spectrometers, will be exhibiting its latest analyzers at the 2018 Pittsburgh Conference & Exposition (Pittcon) at booth #2002. The event is taking place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, from Feburay 26 through Mar 1, 2018.
In addition to exhibiting at the conference expo, representatives from RAD will be hosting two informative talks during the conference.
- “Breakthrough Applications for Handheld LIBS” and will be presened by David Mercuro, Product Manager at RAD, during the “Field Spectroscopic Applications: Point of Care, Safety & Security and Environmental Scenarios” session on Monday, February 26 from1:30pm – 4:25pm in room 208C.
- “Chemometrics – Not ChemoMagic” will be presened by Dr. Suzanne Schreyer, Senior Applications Scientist, during the “Food, Photonics and Field Spectroscopy” session on Thursday, March 1 from 1:50-2:10pm in room 208A.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses.

Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.

Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
