Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
The Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis is a flexible, powerful, and reliable spectrophotometer, ideal for labs that want to get their work done and meet their sustainability targets. The innovative design of the Cary 3500 UV-Vis is optimized for everyday productivity while reducing energy consumption, reducing costly and unnecessary maintenance, and reducing hazardous waste—ultimately lowering cost-of-ownership.
The Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis offers:
- Reduced energy consumption: for example, Xenon source lamp only flashes when a reading is taken, no warmup time
- Reduced hazardous waste production: Xenon source lamp comes with a 10-year warranty, so there is no need to frequently replace and dispose of lamps
- Long-lasting instrument with minimal maintenance
- Manufactured using renewable energy
- End-of-life take-back programs ensure that the product is properly recycled or refurbished
Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
The Penang, Malaysia facility that manufactures the Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer has implemented measures to reduce energy consumption, water consumption, and waste generation within the last five years. These initiatives include movement-sensitive lights, movement-sensitive water faucets, and removal of single-use plastics.
Renewable Energy Use
The Penang, Malaysia facility that manufactures the Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer has a rooftop solar array.
Responsible Chemical Management
The Penang, Malaysia facility that manufactures the Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer has implemented a rigorous EMS policy and hazard communication plan. Additionally, the Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer is EU RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant and does not contain chemicals of concern.
Shipping Impact
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer is manufactured in Penang, Malaysia and shipped to distribution centers in Memphis, Tennessee for the US market, and Ketsch, Germany for the EU and UK markets.
Product Content
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer consists largely of ABS plastic, steel, zinc-plated steel, and aluminum that contains approximately 30% recycled material. This results in the final product containing just over 20% sustainable content by weight.
Packaging Content
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer packaging system consists of cardboard that contains 20% recycled fiber and low-density polyethylene foam. This results in the overall packaging system containing almost 10% sustainable content by weight.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer is assumed to be in active use for three hours a day, and left in idle for the remaining 21 hours of a day. This use case results in an energy consumption of 0.214 kWh per day.
Water Consumption
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer does not consume water during the use phase.
Lifetime Rating
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer has an estimated lifetime of 20 or more years, assuming proper maintenance. Additionally, the Xenon lamp module within the product has a 10-year warranty, and the overall product is eligible for seven years support if the product were to be discontinued.
Packaging End-of-Life
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer packaging system consists of cardboard and low-density polyethylene foam. The cardboard box is readily recyclable, while the low-density polyethylene foam is recycled, landfilled, or incinerated, depending on the available infrastructure in the US, EU, and UK markets.
Product End-of-Life
The Agilent Cary 3500 Multicell UV-Vis spectrophotometer is eligible for the Agilent product Take- Back program across all three US, EU, and UK markets.
