Thermo Electron Releases OMNIC™ 7.0 Professional Software Suite for FT-IR and Raman Spectrometers

6 Jun 2008

Product news

A worldwide leader in software and instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy, Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE:TMO), announces the release of its OMNIC™ 7.0 Professional Software Suite for Nicolet FT-IR and Nicolet Raman spectrometers.

Incorporating the feedback from customers and application scientists from around the world, the OMNIC Professional Software Suite now includes many new features that improve the ease of use and data output capabilities of this powerful and established molecular spectroscopy package.

New features of the OMNIC 7.0 software package include improved spectral annotations with automatic audit trails, one-at-a-time search overlay, Y-axis roll and zoom, live collect y-axis limit settings, and the possibility to quickly e-mail spectra from the software. Users therefore gain improved access to their spectral data to make collection, processing, and reporting of data easier. Additional improvements such as a live spectrum “freeze” function, the ability to set automatic blanking of regions to enhance the viewing of areas of interest, and set sample and background scans independently help keep the award-winning OMNIC software at the cutting edge of spectral analysis software.

The OMNIC Professional Software Suite is fully compatible with Thermo’s latest Nicolet FT-IR series spectrometers, including integrated support for Thermo’s ETC EverGlo[1] IR source, new IR filter, screen and polarizer wheels, and remote sampling via fiber optic probe.

The OMNIC Professional Software Suite is available in several upgradeable packages geared for all spectroscopy experience levels:

  • a basic package for data collection and manipulation
  • an analytical package supporting IR interpretation skills and basic macro routines
  • an advanced package supporting method development and qualitative analysis,
  • a research package for advanced experimentation.

Additional modules for IR microscopy and Raman experiments, advanced macro development, 21 CFR Part 11 tools, security and access control are also available.
