The Bruker Vertex 70 Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) allows the measurement of infrared absorption for analytical and research purposes. FTIR can quantitatively measure the presence of chemical functional groups, verifying reaction chemistries, sample contents and evolution, as well as functional group orientations.
Science Overview
The Bruker Vertex 70 allows the fast collection of IR spectra of a variety of sample types including solid bulk, liquid, or thin films. The following aftermarket sample cells are available for use with this instrument:
Pike VeeMax III – capable of reflection and ATR (Ge crystal). Features automated sampling at various angles of incidence and polarization through intuitive software controls.
Harrick VariGATR – ATR accessory featuring variable incident angle and polarization options.
Harrick Seagull – variable angle cell allowing specular, ATR, and diffuse reflectance measurements.
Harrick MVP2 Single Reflection ATR – allows quick and easy sampling on a variety of soft and hard samples with minimal preparation.
