Product Overview
The IST 23838A is a deuterium lamp from Imaging and Sensing Technology, approximately 3.5 inches long, delivering high-intensity ultraviolet output in a compact, energy-efficient package. The lamp is built on a knurled mounting collar with a labeled band carrying the type and serial number, and connects through its attached red and black leads terminating in a Cinch connector block. Deuterium lamps are the workhorse UV source in analytical instrumentation, supplying the short-wavelength light that UV spectroscopy depends on. You get the exact lamp photographed, in its original IST factory box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
The IST 23838A deuterium lamp exactly as photographed: lamp with its knurled mounting collar, attached red and black leads with Cinch connector, and the original IST box. No separate cables, power supply, or instrument hardware.
Which instruments does this lamp fit?
Not confirmed - verify the 23838A part number, connector, and mounting against your instrument's lamp documentation before ordering.
What does unused, new old stock mean?
The lamp was never put into service, but it has been around a while. It is clean, boxed, and in excellent shape - just not fresh from the factory.
What is a deuterium lamp used for?
It provides high-intensity UV output for spectroscopy, analytical instrumentation, and laboratory research equipment.
Why buy a single lamp here instead of chancing a listing on eBay or Amazon?
Because you need one known-good spare, not a gamble. We sell exactly the unit photographed, shipping is a flat $8 and free over $28 - so this lamp ships free - and it leaves our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Deuterium lamps do their work in the part of the spectrum your eyes cannot follow, which is exactly where much of chemistry shows itself. A never-fired lamp means a fresh baseline, and the next clean scan is yours.
