Spectrometer prices vary widely depending on type, features, and condition, ranging from $1,000 for used UV-Vis models to over $2,500,000 for high-end mass spectrometers.

UV-Vis and Fluorescence Spectrophotometers

UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometers are commonly used in molecular biology, chemistry, and environmental testing. New systems typically cost between $3,000 and $60,000, depending on wavelength range, sensitivity, and advanced features, while used systems range from $1,000 to $30,000 based on condition and brand, with top manufacturers including Agilent, PerkinElmer, and Thermo Fisher Scientific (LabX) . Single beam models are generally less expensive and more sensitive, whereas double beam models offer stability and ease of use (Labcompare) .

Mass Spectrometers

Mass spectrometers are more specialized and expensive. New models vary by type: MALDI-TOF ($50,000–$1,000,000), Q-TOF ($100,000–$1,000,000), Triple Quadrupole ($75,000–$1,000,000), Ion Trap ($20,000–$500,000), and Fourier Transform ($150,000–$2,500,000). Used models are significantly cheaper: MALDI-TOF ($10,000–$500,000), Q-TOF ($12,500–$500,000), Triple Quadrupole ($15,000–$250,000), Ion Trap ($10,000–$100,000), and Fourier Transform ($100,000–$1,500,000) (LabX) .

FTIR, NIR, and Raman Spectrometers

For FTIR, NIR, and Raman spectrometers, prices are highly dependent on configuration, measurement modules, and accessories. Vendors like Optik Instruments provide customized quotes based on your specific requirements, including transmission, reflection, ATR units, optical probes, and autosamplers .
