Opening new horizons for users and manufacturers: The Tidus Lumio is an ATEX-compliant Raman probe for process environments which comes with an integrated laser light source. It is connected to a spectrophotometer for receiving the signal and transforming it into measurement data similar to standard probes. A system set up with an explosion-proof Raman spectrometer is not necessary anymore as the probe can be operated together with almost any Raman spectrometer or even with suitable Vis spectrometers for adequate applications such as qualification purposes.
The Tidus Lumio is also avaiable as a non-ATEX Version.
Safe operation in potentially explosive areas (ATEX)
Compatible with many RAMAN spectrometers
Multiple process interface configurations possible
The Tidus Lumio plays a vital role to ensure that final products meet challenging requirements and at the same time conducts safe and secure production processes under potentially explosive atmosphere conditions. With the Tidus Lumio probe, the spectrometer can remain in the non-ATEX environment simplifying installation and reducing costs. This makes the Tidus Lumio ideal for device manufacturers and system integrators wishing to expand their existing portfolio to include ATEX applications and addressing previously unreachable customer applications.The Tidus Lumio is also ideally suited for end users with a background in spectroscopy.

Raman spectroscopy is a proven measurement technology in a wide range of applications from minerals processing (Oxide, Sulfide, Silicate, Halogen, Sulfate, Carbonate, Phosphate) to polymer applications. Especially the analysis of aqueous solutions as seen in the bioprocessing, food and beverage industry are relevant applications where Raman spectroscopy provides significant advantages over IR and NIR spectroscopic methods as the Raman signal is not overwhelmed with water band signals. The application possibilities of Tidus Lumio are highly diverse and range from laboratory research to large-scale manufacturing:
Polymers for Clothing, Automotive Industry, Coatings, Adhesives and Consumer Goods
