Description of the procurement

This instrument measures the “Raman shift” which is essentially the chemical bonding within a solid sample. It can be used to map and understand the chemistry of rock, sediments and soils. For example, it can measure surface passivation, such as sulphur build-up, or amorphous phases, which other complementary techniques, such as XRD or SEM are not typically suited for. It is used for a wide range of materials science and geological applications.

II.2.4)

Description of the procurement

This instrument measures the infrared absorption of a solid material and is useful for determining the concentrations of covalently-bonded species in a mineral, such as water and CO2, which are especially challenging to analyse by other means. Analyses can be undertaken on a bulk powder or on an in-situ spatially-resolved spot using the associated attenuated total reflection (ATR) add-in.
