Varian Inc. (Part A) - Cary 50 UV-Vis spectrophotometer

The award-winning, budget priced Cary 50 makes it possible for all users to experience the power of a Cary.

The innovative design of the Cary 50, which incorporates a Xenon flash lamp, enables it to offer many advantages over traditional UV-Vis spectrophotometers.

The Cary 50 is controlled by the new Cary WinUV software. This Windows based software features a modular design which makes it easy to use. And of course, the Cary 50 can be fitted with the full range of accessories to provide extra capabilities.

Cary 50 features include:

• The maximum scan rate is 24 000 nm per minute. That means you can scan the whole wavelength range of 190-1100 nm in less than 3 seconds.
• With a data collection rate of an impressive 80 points per second you'll have all the information you need about your kinetics assay.
• The Cary 50 can measure samples up to 3 Abs so you won't have to dilute as often.   
• The Xenon lamp flashes only when acquiring a data point, unlike a diode array which exposes the sample to the whole wavelength range with each reading, causing degradation of photosensitive samples.
• As the Xenon lamp is very intense, the Cary 50 can use a beam splitter without the loss in energy causing excessive photometric noise. The beam splitter allows simultaneous reference beam correction, so peaks will not shift as the scan speed changes.
• The Cary 50's super-concentrated beam makes it ideal for fibre optic work.
• The light beam is narrow and very intense, so even if you are using microcells you will still get excellent noise performance.
• The Cary 50 is unaffected by room light. You can operate with the sample compartment open or closed, you won't notice the difference.
