Thermo Fisher Scientific’s new Summit FT-IR spectrometer replaces the iS5 and is intended for QA/QC labs and teaching labs. It incorporates the same LightDrive Optical Engine technology used in more advanced Thermo Scientific instruments, and also benefits from extended warranties on critical optical components. OMNIC Paradigm software helps manage multiple users and sample types, and there is a new, visual-based workflow editor. As well as a touchscreen interface, the Summit also has a multi-coloured LED LightBar that provides visual feedback on instrument status and sample pass/fail results.
