How It Works
Optical design
For decades, the Cary design philosophy has aimed to serve those who must push performance limits yet have an instrument adaptable to many applications. From source to detector, the Cary 5000 provides the performance and flexibility needed for academic research or production quality assurance needs. Our diffuse reflectance accessories have various detection options and a sandwich detector for multi-angle specular reflectance and transmission using the Cary Universal Measurement Accessory (UMA).
Superior photometric range and linearity in the UV-Vis
Avoid time-consuming samples and standard dilutions, and confidently measure the most challenging samples. Cary UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers provide the widest photometric range available across the broadest wavelength range—with absorbances exceeding eight from the UV-Vis to the NIR.
Wide dynamic range quantitative analysis of aqueous potassium permanganate (left) demonstrates excellent photometric accuracy and range. Measurement at 555 nm permits analysis from 0.1–500 ppm without dilution.
Lock it down and walk away.
Cary UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers feature the unique LockDown mechanism that lets you quickly and reproducibly position your accessories in the instrument. Confidently mount any accessory in the sample compartment in the same place, time-after time—eliminating tools and time-consuming alignment procedures. Configure multiple LockDown plates with different measurement configurations and swap and lock each one in, when needed, in three easy steps.
