#  Lightnovo ApS announces new miniRaman product range

 Written by Gwyn Winfield on 07 February 2025.

Lightnovo ApS, announced the launch of the new miniRaman Operator product range for the defence and security sector. The miniRaman Operator product range is specifically designed for CBRNe defence field operators and forensic specialists in the security sector. Developed in response to feedback and requirements from leading institutions and organizations, Lightnovo has created a solution that seamlessly aligns with the workflow of field operators, ensuring efficiency and reliability in critical operations.

The miniRaman Operator Spectrometer is compact in size: 105x50x45 mm (L x H x W) and weighs only 360 g, with a built-in battery (1 hour of continuous operation, 4 hours in standby mode) and which can be recharged in the field using a power bank. The device features a built-in reference channel (a unique Lightnovo patented technology) eliminating the need for regular verification checks by field operators. The device features a secure embedded Linux operating system, which includes built-in libraries of relevant substances and features a display showing the identification result. The one-button design ensures an intuitive workflow, making the device user-friendly and easy to operate without advanced training. Data transfer and advanced features can be accessed via Bluetooth or USB-C connection to a PC or tablet. For enhanced security, all wireless communication features can be disabled when operational conditions require it.

The device supports ROS2 programming interface, which allows for the integration of the spectrometer with robots and drones, further reducing operators’ risks in hazardous environments. The device has successfully passed all internal Lightnovo ApS testing and is pending official industrial certification. The miniRaman Operator is IP67 compliant and has passed military grade drop test MIL-STD-810H. Additionally, the device is fully operational at different ambient temperatures ranging from -10°C to +45°C.

In addition to the miniRaman Operator Spectrometer, Lightnovo ApS introduces the miniRaman Operator Microscope, designed to empower field operators with enhanced analytical capabilities directly in the field. The microscopic analysis is especially valuable for analysing inhomogeneous samples, mixture analysis, as well as trace detection, in applications where point detection Raman spectroscopy does not provide conclusive results.

The miniRaman Operator microscope is a compact portable device with a footprint of approximately 200x200x400 mm (L x H x W) and weighing approximately 12 kg. It is suitable for vehicle-mounted setups as well as for direct field deployment with its carrier rucksack and can be powered with a power bank supporting USB-C Power Delivery (15V, 1.5A) standard. The miniRaman Operator microscope retains all the benefits of the miniRaman Operator Spectrometer such as self-calibration and stable operation under different environmental conditions since it integrates the miniRaman Operator Spectrometer at its core. The system’s modularity allows for the easy removal of the the spectrometer for point measurements and seamless reinsertion without any realignment or recalibration.

To further enhance usability and adaptability in field conditions, the miniRaman Operator product range comes with a variety of accessories. These include a belt holster for convenient carrying, a docking station for quick charging and data transfer, and disposable tips for decontamination purposes. Additionally, interchangeable probes enable the identification of different substance types.
