New Silicon Calibration Slide for Raman Spectrometers

New from Mesophotonics, makers of the recently launched Klarite surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, is Klarite sCAL, a physical reference for verification of the calibration of Raman spectrometers. Unlike any previous standard, sCAL slides are produced up to 50 at a time from a single silicon wafer. This means that, for the first time, organisations running multiple instruments will be able to synchronise calibration within laboratories and even between sites, for significant improvements in productivity and traceability.

For laboratories using a single Raman spectrometer, Klarite sCAL provides a silicon reference mounted on an easy to use standard three-inch glass microscope slide, each of which is individually numbered for traceability. Application of these standards will also significantly enhance instrument qualification and validation (IQ/OQ testing).
