Spectrophotometer, FTIR, Perkin Elmer Paragon 500

If you need a rugged, reliable, and economical system in your lab to handle everyday challenges of routine applications a Paragon 500 is for you. Excellent for QA/QC and educational environments. It will give the fast, reliable, and accurate results you need with its integrated preconfigured solution.

The Paragon 500 includes the following features:

  • Vibration-isolated optical bench protects the optics from disturbance by other equipment and allows the keypad to be operated during scanning.
  • Spill-resistant keypad with single keystroke operation makes for easier data handling and cuts training time.
  • Sealed and desiccated optics protect moisture-sensitive components and reduce the effect of change in atmospheric absorption.
  • All data and spectra are displayed on an included standalone 14-inch color VDU with a custom palette.
  • PC-format floppy disk drive for data storage and easy data transfer to a PC or another system.
  • Interactive commands allow spectra to be corrected, subtracted and baseline-adjusted with total simplicity.
  • Compatibility/Comparable with Model 1600 spectrometers allows data and methods to be transferred without change.
  • System diagnostics and status indicators give you the confidence that you will get reliable results.
  • Simple quantitative capabilities, such as peak height and peak area, are standard.
  • Better than 0.8cm-1 spectral resolution to isolate sharp absorbance bands.

All Systems are tested to ensure they exceed these specifications. These signal-to-noise specifications are the results of tests carried out on Systems using data which has been neither smoothed nor baseline-corrected. An optional printer or plotter must be included as a separate item, in order to provide a complete system.
