- Spectral range: mid-infrared (MIR)
- Scan type: ratio recording with double-beam optics
- Optical components: mirrors and diffraction gratings
- LED wavenumber digital display
- Integrated chart plotter (no pen included); chart paper included
- Front panel controls: chart expansion, scan time, wavenumber, slit adjustment, baseline/offset, grid expansion
- Output connections: RS-232, T91, 1V, 10MV, RET terminal strip
- Supports Perkin-Elmer 1430 accessories and sample compartment options
Applications
The Perkin-Elmer 1430 was used for in vitro diagnostic analysis, chemical identification, and materials characterization. Ratio recording spectrophotometers of this type measure infrared absorption across the mid-infrared spectrum to identify molecular composition. Commonly deployed in pharmaceutical, chemical, and clinical laboratory environments for compound analysis and quality control.
This Perkin-Elmer 1430 Ratio Recording Infrared Spectrophotometer is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The unit does power on and the LED wavenumber display functions. The heater in the source generator comes on, and the light source appears to be functioning. All mirrors and gratings appear intact and move through a complete scan cycle. The integrated chart plotter feeds paper and appears to operate; however, there is no pen included. Beyond these observations, the unit has not been fully tested and is not guaranteed functional — it is sold strictly as-is. It dates from April 1986 (Control Number 500356) and is a good candidate for parts salvage or a restoration project.
