Refurbished, Spectrophotometer, FTIR, Perkin Elmer RX 1

The Spectrum RX I System includes the patented COMPARE function for QA materials checking and simple searching, a spectral calculator providing quantitative analysis, and resolution better than 0.8 cm-1 using the same high performance optics as other Spectrum RX Systems.

The Spectrum RX I 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.
• Patented DynascanTM interferometer provides immunity to dynamic alignment errors.
• 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.
• On-line help makes testing a quick and simple process for students, occasional users and professionals, and cuts the time and money needed for training.
• Multi-tasking software allows many operations to be performed concurrently, increasing the throughput of samples.
• Interactive commands allow spectra to be corrected, subtracted and baseline-adjusted with total simplicity.
• Compatibility/Comparable with Model 1600 and Paragon spectrometers allows data and methods to be transferred without change. Methods developed on other Spectrum RX Systems can be run on the Spectrum RX I System.
• System diagnostics and status indicators give you the confidence that you will get reliable results.
• Patented COMPARE function designed for QA vastly reduces the risk of errors due to factors beyond the analyst's control.
• Spectral calculator to calculate, for example, mean and standard deviation of spectra.
• Simple quantitative capabilities, such as peak height and peak area, are standard.
• Better than 0.8cm-1 spectral resolution to isolate sharp absorbance bands.
• OPD velocity variable between 0.1 and 0.5 cm/s to deliver optimum performance for MCT, photoacoustic and other detectors.
• Frequency range of 7,800-350 cm-1 using a Ge-coated KBr beamsplitter.
• TheSpectrum RX I System provides 5,000/1 rms, 1,000/1 p-p for a 4-second measurement and 20,000/1 rms, 4,000/1 p-p for one minute.

Measurements are made at 4 cm-1 resolution with Beer-Norton apodization; the measurement time includes total scan time and signal processing. All Spectrum RX I Systems are tested to ensure they exceed these specifications. These signal-to-noise specifications are the results of tests carried out on Spectrum RX I 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.
