What can a mobile spectrometer detect?

Introduction

Mobile spectrometers represent a significant advancement in portable analytical instruments, allowing real-time analysis across various applications. They operate by analyzing the light spectrum emitted or absorbed by materials, providing qualitative and quantitative data.

Principles of Mobile Spectrometry

Mobile spectrometers measure light intensity as a function of wavelength to identify and quantify materials. These devices often use technologies such as Raman, Infrared (IR), and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Modern units may integrate different spectroscopic methods to enhance versatility and accuracy.

Detection Capabilities of Mobile Spectrometers

Mobile spectrometers can detect a wide range of substances including:

• Organic Compounds: Alcohols, aromatic compounds, and other hydrocarbons.
• Inorganic Substances: Metals, minerals, and salts.
• Biological Samples: Proteins, nucleic acids, and cell structures.

These devices can quantify concentrations down to parts-per-million (ppm) levels in favorable conditions, with accuracy often exceeding 95% for well-calibrated instruments.
