Research instrument

Hone Lab Black

A 1064 nm Raman spectrometer for liquids. Where the Lab Red is built for the paddock, the Lab Black is a transportable research tool for the bench: standard cuvettes, a desktop application, and the same Hone Create modelling platform behind it.

Spectral range 400–2500 cm⁻¹
Resolution 13 cm⁻¹ (avg FWHM)
Detector InGaAs, 2-stage TE cooled
Laser 450 mW · Class 1, interlocked
Samples Water · Oils · Wine · Beer
Sample holder Standard cuvettes
Control Desktop application

What it measures

Wine & beer

Alcohol, malic acid and free SO₂ measured in the barrel room rather than sent away. The results come back before the decision has to be made.

Oils

Composition and adulteration screening on edible and industrial oils, without sample preparation or solvents.

Water

Dissolved species and contaminant screening for research and process monitoring.

Working on a liquid we have not calibrated for? That is what our engineering team does. New measurement targets are built against laboratory references and validated before anything ships.
