BRAVO is THE handheld Raman spectrometer dedicated to fast raw materials identification and verification with optimal spectrum quality and an unrivalled bunch of features.
Unrivalled Bunch of Features
Outstanding performance and design – BRAVO became THE handheld Raman spectrometer of choice for all kinds of Raman applications including raw material verification and unknown substance identification.
Let’s Have a Closer Look
SSETM and DuoLaserTM
In many cases, raw material verification by Raman spectroscopy is prevented due to fluorescence. BRAVO uses SSETM (Sequentially Shifted Excitation), a patented fluorescence mitigation method, based on controlled temperature variations of the laser that enables the measurement of a much wider range of raw materials with handheld Raman systems than ever before. DuoLaserTM excitation (785 nm and 852 nm) provides the highest sensitivity across a broad spectral range and hence guarantees maximum unambiguous verification.
Laser Class 1
No other handheld Raman spectrometer besides BRAVO is classified as a Laser class 1 device in all operating modes. This unique feature offers outstanding user safety with no need for laser safety trainings, a laser safety program or special precautions like personal protective equipment. Therefore, BRAVO can be used with maximum flexibility, anytime by anyone!
Versatile and Yet so Simple
Being THE handheld Raman spectrometer solution for a broad range or applications supported by a large pool of spectral libraries, BRAVO is always ready-to-use and impresses with its outstanding versatility and its comfortable, simple operation.
Raman spectroscopy is ideally suited for the verification of materials and identification of unknown substances. The BRAVO offers the ability to measure materials through (semi-)transparent packaging, e.g. foils and glass, which enables an efficient QC of raw materials, and gives additional value for the contactless analysis of sensitive materials. BRAVO’s bottle adaption guarantees an easy workflow for measurements through glass bottles of various sizes (amber bottles included!).
Pharma
BRAVO is dedicated for quality control in the Pharmaceutical Industry supporting an efficient work routine and offering full compliance to the latest Pharma requirements. Bruker provides an comprehensive and carefree BRAVO Qualification and Validation Package in combination with the powerful software OPUS, offering all necessary tools to qualify and operate the BRAVO in the regulated environment of the Pharmaceutical industry.
Narcotics
One of the most common application is the identification of narcotics or other dangerous substances. Facilities worldwide use BRAVO’s ID workflow for the screening of illegal substances and drug detection, supported by the TicTac Raman Drug Library. This library is frequently updated to ensure being up-to-date for the identification of new designer drugs.
Art & Restoration
In the filed of art and restoration, it can be a challenge for example to analyze artwork non-destructively and without direct contact. BRAVO offers a powerful solution for the identification of pigments, minerals and gems for object restoration or fraud detection. With the spectral range extension down to 170 cm-1 a broader range of pigments can be analyzed. When positioning is crucial to the object analysis, the instrument can be mounted on the BRAVO Tripod Mount Adaptor.
Lab / R&D
Besides being a handheld device, the BRAVO has proven benchtop performance with the option for remote operation via the Docking station or WiFi. BRAVO’s unrivalled capabilities in combination with the spectroscopy software OPUS, enable the use for the most advanced applications, such as in laboratories and R&D.
