PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FTIR Spectrometer

Insights by AMPTIUS | AMP Tech Instruments

Reliable Molecular Identification and Material Characterization Across Analytical Laboratories

If your laboratory requires fast, dependable material verification without the burden of constant maintenance, the PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FTIR spectrometer is the ultimate everyday workhorse for your benchtop. Featuring a highly stable, temperature-controlled optical bench with a mid-infrared spectral range of 8,300–350 cm⁻¹ and sharp 0.5 cm⁻¹ resolution, this compact system ensures exceptional wavelength accuracy and reproducible data across years of heavy use. Highly versatile and compatible with Universal ATR (UATR), transmission, and diffuse reflectance sampling modules, it allows you to screen solids, liquids, powders, and polymers directly with minimal to no sample preparation. It is the perfect, cost-effective fit for industrial QA/QC testing, polymer failure analysis, environmental contaminant tracking, and pharmaceutical laboratories needing rapid raw material identification and counterfeit drug screening.

FTIR Spectrometer Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR Spectrometer provides a compact and cost-effective infrared spectroscopy solution for pharmaceutical, chemical, polymer, environmental, food, forensic, and industrial laboratories requiring rapid material identification and compositional analysis. New systems typically range from approximately $35,000 to $47,000, depending on accessory configuration, ATR options, software packages, and application modules, while certified pre-owned systems generally range from $13,000 to $21,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as ATR crystal maintenance, desiccant replacement, validation standards, software licensing, preventive maintenance, optical alignment checks, and compliance-related qualification support for USP <197>, EP 2.2.24, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include detector servicing, replacement electronic components, environmental control for optimal optical stability, and optional service contracts to maintain dependable spectral performance and analytical reproducibility. Purchasing a certified pre-owned PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR Spectrometer allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from rapid spectral acquisition, minimal sample preparation, reliable long-term operation, and proven analytical performance for routine and high-throughput FTIR applications.

ASTM D7066 Using the PerkinElmer FTIR Spectrum Two Spectrometer

The PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR Spectrometer provides a highly effective and forward-looking solution for laboratories performing ASTM D7066 for the determination of recoverable oil and grease and nonpolar material by infrared analysis. The system delivers high spectral resolution, stable optical performance, and dependable quantitative accuracy for measuring hydrocarbons, oils, greases, and nonpolar contaminants in environmental water and wastewater samples. For laboratory managers seeking to reduce dependence on chlorotrifluoroethylene solvent (S-316), the Spectrum Two offers significant operational and regulatory advantages by also supporting alternative ASTM and EPA infrared workflows that utilize cyclohexane extraction combined with Horizontal Attenuated Total Reflection (HATR) analysis. In these methods, the cyclohexane solvent is evaporated directly from the HATR crystal surface prior to infrared measurement, allowing laboratories to bypass the use of restricted ozone-depleting solvents entirely while simplifying solvent handling and reducing hazardous material concerns. The compact design, rapid spectral acquisition, low maintenance requirements, and dependable analytical reproducibility of the Spectrum Two make it well suited for high-throughput environmental laboratories transitioning toward safer and more sustainable oil and grease analysis workflows. Combined with reliable long-term performance and flexible FTIR method compatibility, the PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR Spectrometer provides laboratories with a cost-effective platform for modern environmental compliance testing and solvent reduction initiatives.
