VERTEX 70: Unmatched FT-IR Performance and Versatility
The VERTEX 70 is a fully digital FT-IR spectrometer series for demanding
R&D applications. Its innovative design results in the highest flexibility and
highest performance. The data acquisition is based on two channel delta-
sigma ADCs with 24-bit dynamic range, which are integrated into the
detector preamplifier electronics. This advanced DigiTect technology prevents
external signal disturbance and guarantees the highest signal-to-noise ratio.
Wide Spectral Range
The VERTEX 70 series can be optionally equipped with optical compo-
nents to cover the spectral range from 15cm-1 (10cm-1 for VERTEX 70v)
in the far IR/THz, through the mid and near IR up to the visible/UV
spectral range at 28,000cm -1. With its pre-aligned optical components
and permanently aligned RockSolid interferometer, range change is
easy and maintenance free.
BRAIN: Bruker Artificial Intelligence Network
A network of intelligent functions such as recognition of sampling
accessories and optical components, automatic set up and check of
measurement parameters makes FT-IR spectroscopy easy, fast and
reliable. In addition, the permanent online check of spectrometer com-
ponents keeps fault diagnostics and maintenance simple. A full suite
of software tools ensures this functionality.

Automatic Component Recognition
The sources, detectors and beam splitters on
the VERTEX 70 - 70v are electronically coded
to be recognized by the instrument and ap-
propriate experimental parameters are auto-
matically loaded. In addition, if two conflicting
components are installed at the same time, the
VERTEX 70 series will recognize this and inform
about the mismatch.
Vacuum Optics
With the evacuable optics bench of the
VERTEX 70v vacuum FT-IR spectrometer,
PEAK sensitivity in the mid-, near and far
IR/THz regions is obtained without the fear of
masking very weak spectral features caused
by water vapor or CO2 absorptions. Outstand-
ing results, e.g. in the area of nano-science
research down to sub-monolayers, can be ob-
tained with the new VERTEX 70v vacuum FT-IR
spectrometer. The oil-free dry vacuum pump
which is included in the instrument delivery pro-
vides a vacuum level of less than 0.2hPa (mbar)
within minutes.
Plug & Play: Easy Set Up
All over the world, no matter where you are,
plug in the power cord and the Ethernet
connection, and the VERTEX 70 is ready for
operation. The Ethernet connection to the
VERTEX 70 also offers the possibility to
control the spectrometer via your network
or the World Wide Web.

The innovative optics design of the VERTEX 70
series results in the most flexible and expand-
able FT-IR spectrometer available. With an eas-
