Thermo Fisher - Nicolet Summit FTIR Spectrometers
- Fast, trusted results – the Nicolet Summit FTIR Spectrometers are designed with the Thermo ScientificTM LightDriveTM Optical Engine to improve data reproducibility and results; each instrument is tested and shipped to you with factory-verified specifications, guaranteeing actual, not “typical” or “achievable,” performance
- Streamlined workflows – the Thermo ScientificTM OMNICTM ParadigmTM Software Suite provides automated workflows for performance verification and regulatory compliance; workflows can be easily developed in OMNIC Paradigm Software using a new, visual workflow builder
- Real-time feedback – a unique LED LightBar indicates how well your sample matches a reference spectrum and provides feedback on instrument status
- Worry-free ownership – a multi-year warranty on the laser, source and interferometer backed by UnityTM Lab Services* provides unmatched confidence
