PerkinElmer Introduces New Gold-Standard Spectrum 100 FT-IR And 100N FT-NIR Spectrometers

Increases Laboratory Productivity and Provides Customers Extremely Accurate and Reproducible Results

Boston - PerkinElmer Inc., announced the launch of two new spectrometers, the Spectrum 100 FT-IR and 100N FT-NIR, at the Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exposition, Garden State Convention Center, Somerset, New Jersey, booth #624.

The Spectrum 100 Series represents a significant new infrared (IR) platform for PerkinElmer, and encompasses a broad array of features and advantages, including a new and improved UATR accessory, new fiber optic NIR probe, Go Button, and an enhanced version of PerkinElmer's Spectrum and AssureIDTM software packages. Key end-user benefits for this comprehensive offering include:

  • Reproducibility - Built-in intelligence controls and monitors measurements, alerting users to potential errors to ensure consistent results. Also, smart accessories - including the new UATR - increase efficiencies with the analysis of a wide range of samples. In addition, permanently aligned kinematically mounted sampling ensures perfect measurement-to-measurement reproducibility.
  • Quality - Improved sensitivity based on state-of-the-art digital electronics and superior optical design maximizes source output to increase signal-to-noise ratio without sacrificing source lifetime. In addition, high-quality optics provide top level efficiency for the most demanding measurements.
  • Productivity - LCD Instrument Display and Go Button features allow users to conduct continuous analyses of multiple samples directly at the instrument to improve productivity. In addition, a handset user interface and LCD allows continuous remote operation.

"For more than 60 years, PerkinElmer has provided end-users with innovative IR solutions to improve the productivity and quality of data in today's demanding laboratories," said Peter Coggins Ph.D., president of PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences. "The introduction of the new Spectrum 100 FT-IR and 100N FT-NIR further exemplifies our comprehensive quality approach - from product design, development and manufacturing to customer service and support - providing customers with solutions that work day-in and day-out and deliver quality results every time."
