Malvern Instruments, a world-class supplier of systems for characterizing particulate materials, will integrate Kaiser RamanRxn System™ analyzers and probes into its Morphologi® platform. The Morphologi’s high-performance automated image analysis will then intelligently target and guide the collection of Raman data on a range of particulate and solid materials. Used in conjunction with ISys®, Malvern’s powerful chemical imaging software, this approach has many and varied applications. The initial focus will be on pharmaceutical, life science and forensic applications. Here sophisticated sample and particle handling, automated image recognition, and chemical characterization combine to move Raman spectroscopy to a new level of intelligence and automation.

These patent pending combinations will, for the first time, enable this intelligent, targeted and statistically robust approach to performing Raman microscopy on a variety of spatially and chemically complex samples.

Paul Walker, Managing Director of Malvern Instruments said: “We are very excited by the prospects for this collaboration which builds on the strengths of both organizations. It will significantly enhance Malvern’s capabilities to solve the material characterization problems of its customers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.”

Kaiser Optical Systems is a world leader in the manufacture and supply of holographic optics and Raman spectroscopy platforms for a variety of laboratory and industrial process applications. As a direct result of this collaboration, the company will distribute an exclusive version of Malvern’s ISys data processing and analysis software, and a new system control software platform specifically developed for its Raman Microprobe and P^hAT-enabled Raman WorkStation™ range.

Harry Owen, Director of Business Development at Kaiser said: “The addition of Malvern’s software to our Raman WorkStation™ offers our customers significantly improved performance. Raman spectroscopy applications such as chemical mapping, wellplate analysis, and tablet analysis will benefit from the combination of our P^hAT technology and the powerful imaging capability offered by Malvern’s ISys data processing and analysis software.”
