Renishaw inVia Confocal Raman Microscope

Ex-Pfizer | Fully Serviced & Calibrated | Upgraded PC | Licensed Software | Ready to Ship Worldwide

We are offering a Renishaw inVia Confocal Raman Microscope, a state-of-the-art Raman spectroscopy system renowned for its high precision, advanced capabilities, and reliability in materials characterization, chemical analysis, and molecular identification.

This unit was originally acquired by Pfizer, where it was meticulously maintained in a professional laboratory setting. In January 2025, Renishaw performed a full factory service and calibration, and the system includes the manufacturer’s latest service documentation.

This is the current model, identical to what Renishaw sells today at a cost of approximately £200,000, making this a high-value opportunity for research institutions and industrial users looking for a fully equipped, top-tier system at a competitive price.

Important Note on Shipping & Alignment

Due to the intricate nature of the instrument, there is a possibility that some minor adjustments may be needed after shipping to ensure optimal alignment and accuracy. Although every precaution will be taken in packing and transport, delicate optical components can shift slightly.

To ensure accurate Raman measurements, the buyer may need to:

Have an experienced technician check the alignment and recalibrate the system

Contact Renishaw for a service visit, which typically costs around £2,000

This is standard for high-precision optical instruments and should be factored into your setup process.
