The Perkin Elmer Spectrum One spectrophotometer is a used Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) instrument highly regarded for quality analysis in the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, food and medical device industries. With its robust and compact structure, it measures 590 x 480 x 290 mm and requires a versatile power supply of 100-240V at 1.5A and 50/60Hz. This FTIR model allows remarkable precision and resolution (up to 0.5 cm⁻¹) thanks to the wide detection range between 370 and 7800 cm⁻¹, making it ideal for high-fidelity qualitative and quantitative analyses.

The technological heart of this spectrophotometer is a deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS) infrared detector, enhanced with a 68340 microprocessor, which guarantees speed and accuracy in results. This system offers flexible measurement modes such as single beam, ratio and interferogram, all of which interface with Perkin Elmer's dedicated Spectrum software. The sample compartment is purgeable to reduce interference, while Spectrum software facilitates in-depth data analysis, generating detailed reports and graphics suitable for documenting each measurement.

As for used equipment, the Perkin Elmer Spectrum One represents an advantageous option for those looking for quality at low costs: its solid construction according to ISO-9001 standards and overall reliability reduce the need for frequent maintenance. However, to ensure maximum efficiency it is essential to follow a regular maintenance plan, such as periodic cleaning of the sample compartment and checking the optical alignment system. If the model used does not have CE certification, it is possible to adapt it to guarantee safety, following the regulations in force regarding devices for laboratory analysis.

This model is widely used in applications where detailed analysis of chemical composition and the ability to detect impurities at the molecular level is required, making it particularly effective for analyzes of pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic materials. Being a versatile and reliable machine, purchasing used represents a wise investment for laboratories and companies in the sector, which can obtain advanced performance without having to bear the high cost of a new device.
