Trusted performance and function
Dependable, high-performance optics
For the ultimate in reliability and accuracy, the Nicolet Summit FTIR Spectrometer is designed with our unique LightDrive Optical Engine.
Improve data reproducibility: state-of-the-art infrared source eliminates hot-spot migration, resulting in more consistent spectral data, especially through an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory.
Low-cost of ownership: 10-year warranty on IR source, interferometer and laser provide minimal maintenance. Service support contracts and training are also available from Unity Lab Services or from our worldwide network of qualified dealers.
Standard and PRO models: with factory-verified specifications (not just “typical” or “achievable” results) you can choose the performance that fits your sample needs while still staying within budget. With the PRO model, you can achieve a signal-to-noise ratio of 40,000:1 and spectral resolution of 0.45 cm-1 to help distinguish multiple components in small quantities.
Software to shorten your workday
The user-friendly interfaces of the OMNIC Paradigm Software (touchscreen or desktop) makes life in the lab less complicated with programmed applications that streamline data acquisition, processing and interpretation.
Reduce workflow set-up time: an intuitive, visual workflow creator with drag-and-drop functionality guides you through workflow creation.
Audit-ready cGxP compliance: achieve a high level of data integrity with our database infrastructure, data security software, and audit manager applications that keep you complaint with Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur., USP, JP, and CP) instrument qualification. 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and data security packages are available.
Data analysis anytime, anywhere: with full Wi-Fi connectivity, you can send data to your Connect account in the Cloud and analyze data away from the lab. Or share data and collaborate with colleagues anywhere in the world to accelerate your work. Keep students engaged with data they can access in your teaching lab or in their dorm room, on a Mac® or a PC.
Touchscreen or desktop: touchscreen workflows are executed as you run your analysis on a standalone spectrometer that saves space. Or take your analysis further with OMNIC Paradigm desktop software. Find what you need quickly from the Dashboard, create libraries, or perform multi-component searching.
Winning combination for fast-paced labs
With no time to waste, you can move quickly from one sample to the next and have your colleague be able to repeat your success. That’s the power of the Nicolet Summit FTIR Spectrometer combined with the OMNIC Paradigm software.
Summit FTIR Spectrometer LightBar Visual Results
Visual LightBar feedback: the multi-colored LED light bar in the front of the instrument provides pass/fail results of product quality with just a quick glance. Monitor the status of your instrument (idle, collect, alert) and be assured it’s ready for the next user to generate consistent results (see video).
Be confident with Smart Background: integrated intelligence is designed to automatically collect backgrounds so you can shorten your analysis time by 50%.
Built-in computer saves space: a fully integrated Windows® computer on the instrument runs the OMNIC Paradigm Software on the touchscreen interface. Or simply attach a monitor with a wireless keyboard and mouse directly to the Nicolet Summit Spectrometer without having to pay for a separate PC.
