MODEL 2 2 1 INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETER
HOW GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND INFRARED TEAM UP TO ANALYZE DIFFICULT MIXTURES FAST... ACCURATELY Extend your analytical capabilities by teaming up PerkinElmer gas chromatography and Perkin-Elmer infrared spec troscopy to take advantage of the special features of each. This combination gives you greater speed and accuracy — both qualitative and quantitative — than either technique alone, in analyzing such mixtures as close boilers, isomers and similar hard-to-separate compounds. In practice, an unknown mixture is separated into pure fractions by a P-E Model 154-D Vapor Fractometer as it records a fractogram, giving quantitative peaks for the sepa rated components. The individual components, cold-trapped or collected in a solvent as they elute from the instrument, are then run in an infrared spectrophotometer such as the Perkin-Elmer Model 221. The IR spectrum of each of the collected samples provides positive qualitative and quanti tative identification.
Both the Model 154-D and the grating Model 221 are the most advanced instruments of their type, each offering unusual versatility, speed and accuracy. And special P-E accessories further enhance their usefulness. For example, capillary columns (U.S. Patent No. 2,920,487) and ioniza tion detectors for gas chromatography, plus accessory beam condensers for IR examination of micro-samples, allow analyses of small samples beyond the scope of conventional equipment.
