UV-Vis & UV-Vis-NIR Spectroscopy

Advanced Molecular Analysis with Cary Spectrophotometers for UV-Vis & UV-Vis-NIR

Cary UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers continue to build upon the optical design principles proposed by Howard Cary and embodied in the world’s first commercial recording UV-Vis spectrophotometer, the Cary 11, in 1947. For more than 75 years the Cary design philosophy has remained the same—a spectrophotometer for those who must push the limits of performance and yet have an instrument that is adaptable to many different applications.

Cary UV-Vis (ultraviolet-visible) spectrophotometers are ideal for both routine and research measurements, with flexibility, longevity by design, and software to ensure your data is managed, protected, and meets data integrity standards when required. Cary UV-Vis-NIR (ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared) spectrophotometers offer photometric excellence in a range of applications for both liquid and solid samples. Our accurate, intuitive UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR instruments provide exceptional resolution and unmatched linearity for every measurement.

A comprehensive portfolio of accessories and supplies adds wide-ranging measurement flexibility. Quickly and easily set up your instrument for routine ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy analysis of liquid or solid samples, precise temperature measurements, sophisticated transmission and reflectance measurements of solid samples, and many other UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy applications.

Roy J. Carver Dept. Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology , Iowa State University

The biochemistry teaching laboratories at Iowa State University have relied on the outstanding performance and reliability of the Cary 60 scanning spectrophotometers. Since 2000, our twelve Cary spectrophotometers have continued to be the workhorse in our teaching laboratories. A major concern for a teaching laboratory is the reliability of instrumentation, and the continued support and service provided long after purchase. After many years of heavy use in a teaching setting, all our Cary 60 instruments have proven to be of very high-quality with outstanding durability. We design our biochemistry curriculum to prepare students for research-based career paths that demand technologically curre

School of Chemistry and Biotechnology, Swinburne University of Technology

Agilent’s Cary 3500 with controlled stirring and wide range of temperature control options has converted me to use UV-vis spectroscopy to monitor processes in situ using this instrument. The stability of the signal allows for long term kinetic processes too, opening up a range of experiments I was unable to do beforehand due to drift. The intuitive software and data management prevents the loss of results and ensure well organized projects and archives. The Cary 3500 is most definitely an exciting advancement from any other UV-vis spectrometer I have used previously, expanding the flexibility to control more parameters while conducting research experiments.

ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science School of Chemistry, University of Melbourne

We are impressed with the fast scan, user friendly modular design and high throughput of Agilent Cary 3500 UV-Vis. In particular, the great temperature ramping rate and sensitivity makes our work easier. Our project uses UV-Vis to research how temperature affects the scattering properties of gold nanoparticles coated in PNIPAM polymer. As temperature increased over the 30 – 40 °C range, the polymer collapses and the particles aggregate; we are interested in understanding the dynamics of these processes. Wavelength scans at different temperatures, and thermal gradient scans are used to partially characterize these processes. We also do these measurements over a range of pH, salt concentrat
