New Gold SERS substrates for enhanced NIR Raman signal
The newly released Ato ID™ ‘Mato’ Plasmonic Sensor is designed to offer good excitation results for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) in both the red (600 nm plus) and NIR wavelength ranges.
Features 
- Ideal for red to NIR laser wavelengths
- Significantly enhances Raman signal
- Gold (Au) coated
- Active area: 4 x 4 mm (typical)
- Overall carrier size 25 x 25 x 1 mm thick
- Compatible with use of cover slip over the active SERS area
- Developed specifically for high sensitivity trace detection applications
The base substrate is soda-lime glass which exhibits relatively weak inherent Raman scattering and so does not interfere with the sample signal. The active region comprises a pure gold coating over the proprietary nanofabricated base (patent pending). The monolithic structure eliminates risk of contaminants that can arise with glued or chemically treated types. All ‘Mato’ Raman substrates are vacuum sealed in a cleanroom environment for ease of handling. Please contact us for more information.

“The world’s most accurate capacitance bridge” just got better
Andeen-Hagerling manufacture the world’s most accurate capacitance bridges and standards, and their forthcoming AH 2700A-E now offers substantially improved resolution over the entire operating range as well as the usual unparalleled stability, resolution, linearity and accuracy you would expect in a multi-frequency capacitance/loss bridge from the company.
The numerous state-of-the-art features of the AH2700A-E make it a very user-friendly instrument, with a super-sensitivity that enables it to explore, with a new precision, applications in calibration, scientific research, and manufacturing.
The AH2700A-E is the pinnacle of decades of Andeen-Hagerling experience in bridge design and manufacture, and is complemented by its sister model, the AH2700A-E-C that offers continuous frequency scanning. Both models will be shipping in 2013, but we would recommend you express your interest now as there will be a waiting list for these exceptional instruments.
For more information on this and the other Andeen-Hagerling instruments we offer, please contact us.
