APE Angewandte Physik & Elektronik GmbH MIRA I

The MIRA I is a handheld Raman spectrometer designed for rapid, non-destructive identification and verification of materials across various industries. Its compact and robust design enables on-site analysis, eliminating the need for sample transfer to a laboratory setting.

Key features:

• Orbital Raster Scan (ORS) technology: Enhances measurement accuracy and repeatability by scanning the laser over a larger sample area, reducing the risk of sample degradation.
• Versatile sampling options: Supports point-and-shoot measurements and vial-based analyses, accommodating solids, liquids, and powders.
• User-friendly interface: Intuitive software with automated workflows allows operation by personnel with limited spectroscopy experience.
• Comprehensive spectral libraries: Offers preassembled industry-specific libraries and the ability to create custom libraries for tailored applications.
• Regulatory compliance: Meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, ensuring secure and well-documented procedures.

The MIRA I is widely used in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemical manufacturing, and forensic science for applications such as:

• Raw material identification and verification: Ensuring the quality and consistency of incoming materials.
• Process monitoring: Real-time analysis during manufacturing to maintain product integrity.
• Forensic analysis: On-site identification of unknown substances in law enforcement scenarios.

Commonly employed in pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, chemical plants, and forensic laboratories, the MIRA I has been a valuable tool since its release in the mid-2010s and continues to be relevant in modern analytical practices.
