The First True Vacuum ATR

The VERTEX NEO R is the first FT-IR spectrometer with a fully evacuated ATR beam path, eliminating atmospheric interference for ultra-precise measurements. This groundbreaking technology enhances sensitivity and accuracy, enabling the detection of even the most subtle molecular details—ideal for mid- and far-IR analysis of sensitive or low-concentration samples.

Advanced Time-Resolved Measurements

With its next-generation electronics, the VERTEX NEO R enables faster data acquisition, perfect for monitoring time-sensitive or triggerable processes. Its interleaved data acquisition eliminates time-window limitations, unlocking new research possibilities.

More Flexibility in Detector Configurations

The innovative MultiTect™ system integrates a five-position room-temperature detector unit within the vacuum environment while preserving the advantages of DigiTect™ slots. Configure up to:

• 5 room-temperature or TE-cooled detectors + 1 LN₂-cooled detector
• 2 LN₂-cooled detectors

Automatic switching between detectors is supported without breaking the vacuum, ensuring seamless operation. The LN₂-cooled detector also features 12-hour temperature holding for long-duration experiments.

RockSolid™ Interferometer & Next-Gen Optics

The Bruker RockSolid™ cube-corner interferometer is a game-changer in FT-IR technology. The VERTEX NEO R builds on this legacy with an enhanced optical design and cutting-edge electronics, offering:

• External input beam ports with internal aperture wheels
• 8-position filter wheel for validation & custom filters
• 13-position aperture wheel for precise control
• Integrated internal source modules
• 5-position automated attenuator wheel
• Software-controlled beam exit ports

With a resolution better than 0.16 cm⁻¹, an accuracy exceeding 0.005 cm⁻¹, and a high signal-to-noise ratio, the VERTEX NEO R redefines what’s possible in vacuum FT-IR spectroscopy.
