For studies that do not demand the ultimate resolution, standard (0.12 cm⁻¹) and advanced (0.07 cm⁻¹) configurations are available - ideal for condensed-phase samples, low-temperature crystals, and low-pressure gases.
Vacuum ATR: Pure Performance
The Vacuum Platinum ATR unit maintains the entire optical path under vacuum, eliminating atmospheric interference while samples remain in ambient conditions. This capability enables effortless measurement of liquids, powders, and volatile substances without breaking the vacuum seal, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Unified Kinetic Analysis in a Single Run
Designed for advanced time-resolved spectroscopy, the VERTEX NEO Ultra offers combined Step-Scan measurements for both fast (nanosecond) and slower (microsecond/millisecond) kinetics in a single run. This innovation dramatically reduces measurement time for experiments spanning nanosecond to millisecond timescales. A transient recorder board captures rapid changes with a time resolution of up to 2.5 ns, while the standard ADC samples slower dynamics up to 6 μs - all during one step-wise interferogram scan. The result is optimized memory usage, reduced data redundancy, and enhanced signal-to-noise performance.

Automation That Redefines Research
The VERTEX NEO Ultra delivers unprecedented automation, enabling software-controlled switching between four radiation sources, six internal detectors, and four beam splitters without manual intervention. Its comprehensive spectral coverage, from UV to FIR, ensures optimal optical configuration for every application. By integrating proven technologies such as MultiTect™ detectors and the 4× beam splitter changer with the latest Vacuum Platinum ATR innovation, the Ultra maintains vacuum integrity even during sample and component changes. This guarantees consistent peak performance and makes high-end research both effortless and efficient.
