Cary 60 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer | Agilent Technologies, Inc.

General Description
The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is efficient, accurate and flexible, and is designed to meet your immediate and future challenges. With remote sampling options, proven performance and low cost of ownership, you can be sure that the Agiletn Cary 60 UV0Vis will give you answers you can trust.

Technical Description
Lowest cost of ownership - with an exceptionally long lifetime of 3 billion flashes, the lamp typically lasts 10 years, minimizing lamp replacement and instrument revalidation costs. No need for cuvettes - the optional fiber probe delivers more accurate results in a fraction of the time, and with no cuvette or sipper, sample measurements are less prone to error Measures precious samples with ease - the highly focused beam image of the Agilent Cary 60 is perfect for measuring small volumes accurately and reproducibly. Exceptionally fast data collection - with scan rate of up to 24,000 nm/min, you can scan the entire wavelength range (190-1100 nm) in under 3 seconds. Performance enhancing accessories assures you can handle the widest variety of sample sizes and types with liquid sampling accessories including fiber options probes and couplers, Peltier and water thermostated single and multicell holders, temperature probes, microvolume sampling cells and rapid mix accessory for stopped flow kinetics. For solid samples, choose from solid sample holder, fiber optic reflectance probe and coupler and fixed angle specular reflectance accessories (SRA). Software designed for real samples - Agilent Cary WinUV software can be tailored to suit your analytical requirements from QA/QC to research.
