Used PERKIN ELMER Lambda #9232990 for sale

PERKIN ELMER Lambda is a spectrophotometer commonly used in the research laboratory. It is an instrument used to measure spectral intensity from ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is used to identify elements, compounds, and determine the concentrations of biological, environmental and industrial samples. The spectrophotometer works by passing monochromatic light through a sample and measuring the absorbance or transmittance of the sample. The instrument operates in two modes; absorbance and percent transmittance mode. All measurements are taken by placing a sample in a cuvette and placing it inside the sample holder. Lambda incorporates large color touch screens for user interface. The software incorporated by the spectrophotometer facilitates complete data control and manipulation. The instrument comes with a memory capacity of up to 1 GB for data storage and also has a range of options for printing the results. Two types of filters are used in PERKIN ELMER spectrophotometer; monochromator and photomultiplier. The monochromator is responsible for generating illumination in the 6 to 7 UV wavelengths and 6 visible light wavelengths while the photomultiplier is responsible for measuring light intensities ranging from a few nanometers to 100 mM. This combination of filters enables the use of PERKIN ELMER Lambda with a wide range of analysis requiring precise control of intense low-wavelength light. The spectrophotometer is positioned on a two-pieced stand which includes an adjustable height column and the base. The column slides over the vertical adjustment post enabling quick adjustment of the device for an unobstructed view of the sample. The device is best used in conjunction with a computer as the user can analyze the results in graphic and tabular forms on the computer rather than the spectrophotometer. This removes the burden of having to manually calculate values such as spectra maximum, photometric intensity and wavelength data. Lambda is a great tool for research laboratories due to its safety features such as a mechanical shutter and safety interlock features. The instrument is also designed for ease of use, thanks to its large color touch screens which incorporate a wide range of options for controlling the instrument and viewing results.
