Perkin-Elmer Virtual Lab CD-ROM Tour Offers Insights into Environmental Applications, Technologies and Support

N/A-Elmer's Virtual Lab Tour allows you to interactively experience the many technological and application solutions available for environmental laboratory needs. The PE Virtual Lab Tour allows you to walk through applications from a variety of perspectives like, water, soil/hazardous waste, air, or industrial hygiene. Users can directly access the technologies and explore the features and benefits of each technology. Complete with sound and graphics, the virtual lab tour covers environmental techniques ranging from inductively coupled plasma to portable gas chromatography.

Under each of the four application sections, such as "Water" for example, users can click on pop-up menus for a listing of typical applications such a semi-volatile organic compounds, pesticides, or trace metals. Each section ends with specific printable application notes. Information on how to choose among the inorganic technologies is considered using analytical capabilities, regulatory approvals, and business criteria for evaluation.

The CD-ROM also features a financial section for lab managers. The "Economics of PE Solutions" section helps in understanding the cost-effectiveness of a PE instrument through the use of a Payback Calculator for typical environmental instrument configurations. Leasing information is included with examples of costs for different options. An application form can be printed from the disk and submitted for specific cost information.

Additionally, there is a worldwide PE service and support section, providing locations for global Perkin-Elmer offices for users. Information on laboratory planning service, PE On-Board and validation services are included in this section.

To run the Perkin-Elmer Virtual Lab Tour, users must have at least a Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT operating environment, 120 MHz Pentium processor, screen resolution of 600 x 800 or higher, 16-bit sound card and speakers, 16 MB of RAM, and 25 MB of free hard drive space.
