VERTEX Series

The best performing research FTIR spectrometers on the market

Reach the peak performance with the Bruker VERTEX Series research FT-IR spectrometers. The VERTEX Series is the culmination of everything Bruker has pioneered and developed in over 35 years.

The VERTEX Series is built on a fully upgradeable optics platform that is designed with the utmost flexibility in mind. VERTEX spectrometers share a wide range of features, including the BRuker Artificial Intelligence Network (BRAIN), Automatic Component Recognition (ACR), the Plug & Play Ethernet connection and Automatic Accessory Recognition (AAR).

Common VERTEX features:

• The highest resolution and resolving power, peak signal-to-noise performance
• Time resolved and modulation options by means of Step-Scan, Rapid-Scan and Slow-Scan modes
• DigiTect^TM 24 Bit ADC detectors for highest sensitivity and stability
• Widest range of extensions to meet all current and future needs
• Plenty of coupling possibilities – FTIR and Raman microscopy, GC, TGA, PM-IRRAS, VCD …
• Easy beamsplitter exchange without interferometer alignment
• Fully automated test routines for validation according to cGMP (OQ, PQ)
• 21 CFR Part 11 and validation according to EU-, JP- and US-Pharmacopeia

VERTEX series:

• VERTEX 70v (V 70v) – high performance FTIR spectrometer with RockSolid^TM interferometer, designed for R&D and analytical application.
• VERTEX 80 (V 80) – peak performance spectrometer with UltraScan^TM interferometer, designed for the most demanding research applications.
• VERTEX 80v (V 80v) - vacuum version of VERTEX 80 - peak performance spectrometer with UltraScan^TM interferometer, designed for the most demanding research applications.

VERTEX comparison:

Step-Scan

The step-scan technique allows the monitoring of the temporal progress of very fast reproducible events (transients) down to the very low ns-range. The interferometer mirror consecutively steps to the separate interferogram points one by one where the experiment is restarted again. Temporal resolution up to 2,5 nsec is possible.

Rapid-Scan

For time-resolved spectroscopy of non-reproducible experiments, data can be obtained using the so-called Rapid-Scan technique. In this case the interferometer mirror moves very fast and up to 4 spectra can be extracted from each full forward-backward interferometer scan. Up to 110 spectra acquisition per second possible.

DigiTect^TM detector

Bruker´s DigiTect^TM detector technology ensures lowest electronic noise. It is based on modern dual-channel delta-sigma ADC’s with true 24-bit dynamic range integrated into the detector preamplifier electronics.
