Description: The Bruker Vertex 70 is a fully digital Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with easy to use OPUSTM and OPUSLabTM software ready to meet project needs for demanding R&D applications. It has a large sample compartment that can accommodate almost any FTIR sampling accessory. In addition, it is equipped with a high throughput screening extension (HTS-XT) that permits continuous 24 hour operation, capable of analyzing more than 5,000 samples a day without operator intervention. Applications § Analysis of biological fluids § Characterization of polymers and drugs § Characterization of thinfilm materials § Identification of microorganisms (fungi and bacteria down to strain level) Property Determination § Functional group analysis § Organic contamination determination § Vibrational structure determination which can yield physical structure Features § 5 beam exit ports § 96-position silicon wafer for mid-IR transmission experiments § Dry nitrogen purged cabinet to minimize water and CO2 interference High resolution of 0.16cm-1
