Raman Spectroscopy Systems

Process Guardian Raman Analyzer

Tornado Spectral Systems PROCESS GUARDIAN is a superior performance Raman analyzer specially developed for installation in demanding process environments. Its advanced design includes a next generation proprietary HTVS spectrometer coupled with a high quality stabilized laser, multiple laser safety interlocks, temperature monitoring, dynamic recalibration, and an automated diagnostics/fault detection system. HTVS eliminates slit loses while maintaining high spectral resolution, providing the best combination of signal strength, resolution and speed of response.

This Raman spectroscopy system has integrated HMI, allowing performance of full configuration tasks without the need of removing it to a safe area. Adding to the unique design, the LC duplex fiber cable connector, robust operator dial, and data acquisition capabilities make the PROCESS GUARDIAN the ideal analyzer for PAT GMP installations.

Features:

• In-line results in seconds
• Rugged design protects internal components against external environment
• Fully embedded instrument control and spectral processing platform
• User-friendly button and rotary dial control
