How much sample do I need

The sample size required for analysis depends on whether you are interested in using IR and Raman spectroscopy (or both), the type of sample that you have and the information that you want from your sample.

The following table is a brief guide to the minimum amount of sample required for analysis.

 Raman

 0.1-1 g

20 µm

 0.5 µl
