Hardware & Technical Specifications

GemmoRaman-532SG™ has been manufactured with no compromises. The selected spectrometer is absolutely the best on the market - Ocean Optics QEPro. This thermoelectrically cooled CCD-type spectrometer has outstanding 18bit A/D- conversion and provides practically noiseless spectra. Typical noise for one second exposure time is about 0.5 counts out of more than 200 000 counts. To translate this technical jargon for a gemologist; the results are simply pure.

 Comes with pre-installed Dell™ laptop computer
 Free software with comprehensive gemological Raman & PL spectral libraries
 Automatic spectral matching against Raman & PL libraries
 AutoScan feature - one button click for material identification
 Built-in update feature installs free library updates via the Internet
 Fast USB connection to Windows PC (or Mac with Windows partition) 
 NEW! Automatic laser calibration procedure ensures error free analysis
 One click export of the spectrum to the CrystalSleuth software (>5000 minerals)
 Advanced Zoom & Pan methods, floating & nearest point cursors
 Drag & drop spectra vertically for reading clearance
 Peak Smoothing Algorithms: Boxcar, Savitzky-Golay, Spline
 Resolution Enhancement (Artificial Peak Sharpening)
 Peak Finder (cm^-1 & nm), Derivates, noise etc. advanced analysis methods
 Multi-spectra tools for comparing up to 50 spectra simultaneously

What is included

Safety

An independent UKAS accredited laboratory has awarded Class 1 Laser product classification for GemmoRaman-532SG™, which fully meets and exceeds the safety requirements of International Laser Safety Standard IEC/EN 60825-1/2014 under normal operating conditions.

USA: GemmoRaman-532SG™ has been registered with the FDA (CDRH)  to legally enter the country.

Remember to ask for a Class 1 Laser safety certificate before purchasing any Raman unit. Some products on the market may be completely illegal, while others may require for authorized laser safety training, expensive safety goggles and safety restricted areas to be operated.

Requirements

 Internet connection (optional, for library updates)
 110-240V AC or 12VDC (3A)

Installation & Maintenance

GemmoRaman-532SG™ can be installed by the end user and does not require for technician visit on site. The system is shipped with a laptop computer having pre-installed and tested software. GemmoRaman-532™ has been designed to be virtually maintenance free. It's expected life cycle is more than 10 years. Lifetime of the laser unit is 5000 - 10000 hours, and it must be replaced by factory technician.

Calibration schedule

The GemmoRaman-532™ laser wavelength is recommended to be calibrated by the user before starting spectral acquisitions. Calibration is performed with the included GemmoRaman Laser Calibration tool or with any colorless or near colorless gem diamond above 0.05 ct. After inserting the diamond on the sample stage the rest of the calibration procedure is fully automatic.

Spectral intensity output of GemmoRaman-532SG™ has been calibrated at the factory by NIST traceable calibration standard. This calibration ensures the saved spectra are comparable between the units and other properly calibrated Raman spectrometers. It is expected that this calibration is valid for at least 2 years. Unit response calibration can be performed, for example after rough transportation, by the end user by using the optional GemmoRaman Unit response Calibration tool.

Warranty

MAGILABS Warrants to the original purchaser of the GemmoRaman-532SG™ that the unit will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of original shipment.

GemmoRaman-532SG™ contains no user serviceable parts and components. The enclosure is sealed with a holographic label in order to prevent unauthorized maintenance. Any attempt, alteration and modification of the machine and/or the seal not made or formally authorized by MAGILABS will void and nullify the warranty. The warranty does not cover any of the following conditions:

  • MAGILABS seal and/or serial label has been tampered or removed.
  • Damage caused during installation and/or transportation of the unit.
  • Damage caused by modification or repairs not authorized or made by MAGI.
  • Unusual physical or electrical stress or power fluctuations.
  • Normal wear and tear.
  • Abuse or improper and unreasonable use, mistreatment or neglect.

Return & Repairs

For warranty returns and repairs, written proof of original purchase date must be provided. The unit returned for repair or replacement must be properly packaged to avoid damage. Warranty repairs will be made, at our option, on-site or at MAGILABS facility.
