Cary 3500 Flexible UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

Description

Agilent Technologies' Cary 3500 Flexible is a double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer engineered for versatile sample analysis. Its optical system operates from 190 to 1100 nm, achieving a scanning speed of 150,000 nm per minute. Wavelength accuracy is specified at ±0.2 nm, with a spectral bandwidth adjustable between 0.1 and 5 nm. A primary design feature is its large, adaptable sample compartment, which can hold long-pathlength cuvettes up to 10 cm and various solid samples while maintaining a compact benchtop form factor. The instrument utilizes a xenon flash lamp that eliminates warm-up delays and is supported by a 10-year warranty. For dynamic measurements, it can acquire kinetic data at rates up to 250 points per second. Standard software includes Cary UV Workstation for method development and analysis, and the system supports integration with Agilent OpenLab to facilitate data management compliant with regulations like FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
