SSE™ fluorescence mitigation

Conventional Raman spectroscopy often struggles with raw material verification due to fluorescence. However, with SSE™ (Sequentially Shifted Excitation): a patented innovation by Bruker, BRAVO is equipped to analyze a broader range of raw materials using handheld Raman systems, setting a new industry benchmark.

Duo LASER™ excitation

Bruker’s Duo LASER™ excitation ensures unmatched sensitivity across the entire spectral range, assuring maximum, definitive verification.

IntelliTip™ automatic tip recognition

Choose a measuring tip suitable for vials or bags, and Bruker’s IntelliTip™ for BRAVO will meticulously record this choice. With no margin for error, IntelliTip™ ensures that BRAVO by Bruker recommends the correct tip for specific raw materials.

Accessories

Docking Station by Bruker

Bruker’s docking station for BRAVO facilitates Ethernet connections to PCs (either directly or via a network). It also provides storage for an additional measuring tip, daily check samples, and supports lab-based Raman measurements. Additionally, it powers both BRAVO and an extra battery.

Bruker’s Variable Focus Measurement Head

Specifically designed for BRAVO by Bruker, this head enables laser beam focusing, adjusting the power density on the laser surface. This enhancement by Bruker ensures optimized results even when measuring through thicker packaging materials.
