Cary 60 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

The Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer has a wavelength range of 190–1100 nm that can be scanned in under three seconds. Our versatile UV-Vis spectrophotometer can be fitted with long pathlength cuvettes and solid sample transmission or reflectance accessories, and is ideal for remote UV-Vis absorbance analysis, when fitted with fiber optic probes.

The xenon source lamp has a 10 year replacement warranty (for Cary 60 instruments purchased from Agilent or participating partners), requires zero warmup, and causes no photodegradation of samples. Fast reactions can be recorded with 80 data points per second. The Cary 60 is well-suited as a routine UV-Vis spectrophotometer or for use in teaching labs. Optional 21 CFR Part 11 software tools are available.

How It Works

Cary 60 UV-Vis – The power of xenon

The Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer is a double-beam instrument with a powerful xenon lamp that flashes 80 times per second. The xenon lamp only illuminates the sample when data is acquired, protecting sensitive samples from photodegradation, and reducing power consumption. The highly focused beam is ideal for measuring small sample volumes accurately and reproducibly.

Cary 60 UV-Vis – Reliable and flexible

The Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer is designed for both repetitive, routine applications, and for more advanced applications with ever-changing measurement requirements. The sample compartment can be fitted with a range of accessories to accommodate a variety of sample and application types. Accessories include an 18-cell multicell changer for high sample throughput.

Cary 60 UV-Vis – Immune to room light

Thanks to its unique optical design the Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer is immune to the distorting effect of room light. Room light immunity enables measurements outside the sample compartment using fiber optic probes. It also allows easy operation of the Cary 60 with an open sample compartment and reduces the risk of compromised data due to handling mistakes.

Environmental impact

The Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer has been independently audited for its environmental impact and has received the ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label, published by My Green Lab.  See how you can reduce your lab’s environmental impact with sustainability-driven innovation.

Applications

Pharma and biopharma

In modern pharma and biopharma labs, instrumentation that meets current and future demand for accuracy, productivity and robustness is critical. The Cary 60 UV-Vis is ideal for routine (bio)pharma QA/QC workflows and R&D applications, from analyzing drug purity and API concentration, to controlled-temperature measurements of proteins, monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids, or other biomolecules.

Chemicals, energy and materials

Cary 60 UV-Vis system versatility makes it ideal for many applications, and the wide range of accessories extend the Cary 60 capabilities to measure a diverse range of sample types accurately, reliably, and easily. Rapid and remote measurements using fiber optic probes eliminate the need for cuvettes, reducing sample loss and user error, and increasing productivity. The 18-cell changer allows for automated high-throughput analysis of liquids, including color or concentration measurements.

Teaching and research

The Cary 60 UV-Vis is the ultimate lab essential for teaching and research setups. In a multiuser setting, the Cary 60 is a robust and reliable system that prevents downtime and reduces the risk of compromised data. The system can be equipped with a wide range of accessories and sampling devices—including rapid mix and stopped-flow accessories—extending your UV-Vis measurement capabilities. Use of the Cary 60 is easy to learn—requiring minimal training—making it ideal to introduce students to the fascinating world of UV-Vis spectroscopy.
