The National Research Council Canada (NRC) has a requirement for the supply and delivery of a compact Raman spectrometer that is compatible with the self- driving laboratories developed by Clean Energy Innovation’s Mississauga location. The spectrometer must be supplied with the appropriate light source and accessories to acquire Raman spectra on films, powders and in the future, will be used for in-operando studies of energy storage devices. This Raman spectrometer must be compact, light, embeddable into devices, and usable with a software development kit or an application programming interface.
