Exhibit 23.2



 NOTICE REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP


 PerkinElmer, Inc. was unable after reasonable efforts to obtain the written
consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to incorporate by reference in PerkinElmer,
Inc.'s Registration Statement Nos. 333-32462 and 333-92228, each on Form S-8
relating to the PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan the report of Arthur Andersen LLP
dated June 22, 2001, on the financial statements of PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings
Plan for the year ended December 31, 2000. Such report appears herein and in the
annual report on Form 11-K filed by PerkinElmer, Inc. with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on June 29, 2001. However, Rule 437a of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), permits PerkinElmer, Inc. to
dispense with the requirement to file the written consent of Arthur Andersen
LLP. As a result, Arthur Andersen LLP may not have any liability under Section
11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact
contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any
omissions of a material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly,
participants in the plan may be unable to assert a claim against Arthur Andersen
LLP under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
