I W T offers t w o cartridge models for pure water: The Universal U-2 Model costs $9.75; the Research R-2 Model costs $12.50. The U-2 delivers 5 gph of water as good as single-distilled water - suitable for all normal laboratory purposes with a quality of about 2 parts per million. But the water has silica and carbon dioxide i n it. With R-2 at $2.75 more you get water without any silica and carbon dioxide. $2.75 may seem like a lot for such a little less but i t is not the quantity that people don’t want but more the fact that they don’t want any of it. If the above is confusing - here i s a pure fact: the Duplex Research (R-2) model delivers water as good as triple distillation (.04 ppm quality). A color change warns of resin exhaustion; then you merely replace the cartridge with a fresh one to keep the pure water coming or going.
Bul. 268 i s quite explicit about models, purity levels, resins, fixtures and costs. W e would like to send you this 4-color, 4-page brochure please ask for it.

Start w i t h the excellence of the Gilford Monochromator-cast housing for lasting, precise alignment of the finest optical system and control mechanisms-obstacle-free exit plane-integral aperture slide with standard and micro apertures-four place manual positioner with accuracy for micro cuvettes - rugged optical bench for rapid interchange of accessories. Enjoy the convenience and accuracy of linearized wavelength and slit w i d t h controls-direct digital indication-wavelengths readable t o 0.1 nm. - slit widths adjustable and readable t o 0.001 mm. Both control mechanisms are free of backlash and vibrational instability, and make provision for attachment of servo drives. Put t o work the unique usefulness of the Gilford Linear Ab so r ba nce Phot o m e t e r -a cc u rat e Iy Ii near ize d output directly in absorbance, not % T converted t o A-resolution of 0.001 A throughout the entire 0.000 t o 3.000 A measuring rangedirect absorbance indication in clearly readable digits- 0.5 % A photometric accuracy-less than 0.005 A drift per hour. These inherent advantages, coupled w i t h the Gilford ”building block” design concept, permit you t o add attachments as needed for automated operation and special applications. The rapid quantitation of enzyme rates, tor example, is
achieved with the patented combination of the Gilford Photometer, Gilford Automatic Cuvette Positioner and a linear strip chart recorder. Unlike % T instruments, the Gilford linear absorbance output requires no damping circuitry. With the Gilford Model 240 Spectrophotometer, you have the potential of starting with a fundamentally superior basic system and converting it t o as sophisticated a system as you may ever need. Thousands of research, clinical, and industrial laboratories have discovered that Gilford systems offer unsurpassed versatility for a wide variety of spectrophotometric techniques.

All thermal analysis systems for DTA,TGAandTMA were not created equal. Our apologies if we sound undemocratic. But Perkin-Elmer thermal analysis systems are the continuing choice of both the demanding researcher and the value-conscious quality control chemist. And for some very convincing reasons. For example:
The Model DSC-1B Differential Scanning Calorimeter This is the only true Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) in the field (U.S. Patent No. 3263484). It records energy directly. Calibrate it at one temperature, and it holds over the whole range and under all conditions. The direct power measuring principle, low thermal mass and minimal thermal gradients provide the highest sensitivity and resolution available, with the fastest usable heating a n d cooling rates. With the DSC-1B, applications which are difficult if not impossible with conventional systems are routine. Specific heat. Absolute purity. Crystallinity. Reaction kinetics.And that’s naming only a few.
source, for negligible balance “drift” with temperature. Almost instant cooling from 1000°C to ambient for shortest “turn around” time a n d m a x i m u m instrument utility. The magnetic transition temperature calibration system (patent applied for) provides T calibration in the sample space, not just somewhere near it. In fact, the TGS-1 is the only rapid scanning TGA system providing sample temperatures you can believe. The Cahn RG Electrobalance@ we use is famous for its sensitivity, accuracy and ruggedness. Others use it, too-but Perkin-Elmer keeps it cool and it does its best. With the TGS-1, data can be recorded simultaneously with the DSC. A derivative circuit for DTG is included. Moreover, with the UU-1 programmer you can have a completely independent TGA system at moderate cost.
The Model TMS-1 Precision Thermomechanical Analyser The “Archimedean Float” probe
The Model TGS-1 Thermogravimetric Analyser The unique low thermal mass internal furnace of the TGS-1 provides many user benefits. For instance: Close coupling with the sample for highest resolution, even at scanning rates 10 or 20 times faster than normal with others. Complete isolation of balance from heat
suspension system on this model assures constant force on the Sample, independent of displacement. This effectively eliminates tedious and inaccurate “probe position” adjustments. Moreover, the precision bearings and massive “I Beam” supports allow “stiction” free performance. Together with unprecedented sensitivity in ordinary lab environments. The novel “Furnace Dewar” assembly rides up or down a vertical ”trolley” to surround or clear the sample area. No disassembly or complicated mechanical adjustments are required. The TMS-1 includes a derivative circuit and a chromel-alumel thermocouple as standard features. (With the UU-1 programmer it is also available as an independent system.)
