Kaiser Raman Optograf Process Analyzer
Turn-key process Raman analyzer for quantitative chemical composition measurements
The Kaiser Raman Optograf process analyzer is an industry-leading, turn-key, laser-based analyzer that provides quantitative chemical composition measurements using Raman spectroscopy. The design of the Optograf process analyzer incorporates customer requirements for serviceability and hazard-area certification, provides a compact footprint, and minimizes utilities consumption. The high optical efficiency of the Optograf process Raman analyzer makes it ideal for measurement of gas-phase samples.
Additional Components
