Lubricants & Coolants

When it comes to in-service analyzers, like most things, when they run smoothly, everybody wins. That’s why we’ve created simple and reliable analytical solutions for lubricants and coolants. From instruments and accessories to software, service and support – all help you minimize downtime and maximize lab efficiency.

For more than 60 years, PerkinElmer has provided robust, easy-to-use solutions. And that promise continues. Whether you’re researching and developing tribology innovations, analyzing physical characteristics or chemical profile, detecting wear and contaminants, or testing for fluid additives; our trusted solutions help you to increase your laboratory throughput and accelerate results for your customers. The various testing solutions in use are atomic spectroscopy (ICP-OES), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV/Vis spectroscopy (UV/Vis) gas chromatography (GC) as well as automation options.
