rap.ID doubles lab space and staff

Published: 15-Aug-2007

German firm rap.ID Particle Systems, a supplier of microparticle identification equipment is expanding, and now employs the full range of methods required for the source identification of any possible particle pollution, including EDX and IR spectroscopy.


The company’s new lab features a SEM, which allows the identification of any organic and inorganic particles using RAMAN spectroscopy, and can also determine the chemical characterisation of metallic particles. A modern EDX detection unit allows element-specific analysis by providing knowledge of the highly detailed chemical composition of metallic particles, including even high-alloyed or exotic alloy constituents.

The laboratory's capabilities are further expanded with a micro-FTIR that allows the acquisition of FTIR spectra of particles larger than 80?m and access to the millions of substances included in the IR spectra databases.
