An All-Terrain Materials Characterization Vehicle For Pharmaceutical Applications & More

Science and industry move at a dizzying pace—often times in directions that are unexpected or surprising based on the need of the moment. For the pharmaceutical industry in particular, a Raman Chemical Imaging platform that can adapt to constantly changing materials characterization needs is required for the development and analysis of a virtually unlimited number of compounds having widely varying molecular compositions. FALCON II satisfies this need.


The EagleThe FALCON II

FALCON II features ChemImage’s proprietary Multi-Conjugate Filter (MCF). Based on liquid crystal technology, the MCF provides unparalleled image fidelity, as well as high spatial and spectral resolution for high-throughput hyperspectral screening of materials. FALCON II’s Duet Vision Technology™ delivers real-time simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy, allowing users to quickly and easily identify critical regions of interest. Together with CI Xpert™, the versatile data acquisition and analysis software package included with the system, FALCON II allows you to unlock information contained within the chemical images and dispersive spectra to reveal detail of sample chemistry that’s unobtainable by traditional analytical imaging methods.
