Perkin Elmer has launched Spectrum Two, a reliable infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer designed specifically to perform rapid analytical measurements.
The compact and easy-to-use spectrometer is suited to a range of materials and markets, the company said.
It is said to be suitable for unknown substance identification, material qualification or concentration determination.
Spectrum Two can be used in applications including fuel and lubricant analysis, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, environmental and polymer analysis, and the teaching of these methods in academic laboratories.
The instrument has a low-maintenance design and is intended for use by anyone, anywhere, at anytime, bringing the benefits of high-speed FT-IR analysis to non-expert users, even in non-laboratory environments.
Dedicated systems utilising Spectrum Touch next-generation user interface have also been developed to meet the needs of application-specific quality control analysis.
Incorporating user-friendly touch-screen technology, Spectrum Touch allows results to be obtained faster and simplifies analysis operations.
The instrument's software and features are said to ensure consistency and repeatability, and a humidity shield protects against environmental effects.
