Not all spectrophotometers give you the complete picture.
The Agilent 8453 does. Fast, simple and complete scans: With the touch of a button the instrument takes a snapshot of the entire spectrum (190 to 1100 nm) in under one second. Fewer re-alignment issues: The shutter is the only moving component. Intuitive operation: Agilent's UV-VIS software allows all users to generate results.

ICORS 2010 Returns to the U.S.
When thinking of things that happen once every 14 years, one might come up with a list that included comet sightings, animal migrations, and possibly a few other odd occurrences you don’t see every day. Certainly this list would not include academic conferences, yet this is just what happened recently in Boston, Massachusetts, as the 22nd Annual International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy (ICORS) came to U.S. soil for the first time since 1996.

Raman Systems
The ProRaman-L systems from Enwave Optronics are designed for high-sensitivity industrial and laboratory Raman applications. The systems feature a 785-nm frequency-stabilized laser, a spectrograph with cooled CCD options from -50°C to -70°C, and a high-throughput laboratory fiber-optic probe. The systems reportedly achieve approximately 4.5 cm-1 average optical resolution with various ranges of spectral coverage: ~250–2350 cm-1, ~100–2200 cm-1, and ~100–3300 cm-1. The systems’ laser power is ~300–400 mW, with higher output power available upon request.
