Varian Inc. (Part A) - Cary 5000 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer

The Cary 5000 combines unparalleled Cary performance with Varian's innovative PbSmart™ technology, extending the wavelength range into the NIR to 3300 nm. The Cary 5000 can be used to achieve significant performance breakthroughs across a range of applications - from quantifying out-of-band blocking characteristics of band pass filters to measuring the high transmission of next generation fibre optic materials.

The Cary 5000 is also an ideal reference instrument that can be used to check the performance of other UV-Vis or NIR spectrophotometers.

The instrument is shipped with solid sample holders and can be fitted with a wide range of accessories. It is controlled by the Cary WinUV software.

Cary 5000 design features include:

• Wavelength range - 175-3300 nm
• Optical Isolation System - incorporates a 'floating' solid aluminium casting that isolates the optics from external disturbances. You can be sure that your laboratory environment won't affect your instrument's performance.
• PbSmart™ technology - optimizes the performance
  of the PbS NIR detector in real time, providing noise and linearity performance never before achieved using this
  detector technology.
• Schwarzchild coupling optics - ensures the maximum level of light throughput. This produces more accurate measurements at low transmission levels
• Silica overcoating - protects the optics from the environment and allows cleaning without damage to their reflective surface
• Variable and Fixed slits - allows optimum control over data resolution. The spectral bandwidth can be set down to 0.01 nm. The slits can be fixed in the NIR as well as the UV-Vis regions
• Out-of-plane double Littrow monochromator - minimizes photometric noise and stray light, providing excellent resolution
• Advanced electronics design - The instruments can typically measure beyond 8 Abs with reference beam attenuation
• Nitrogen purging - The monochromator and sample compartments have separate nitrogen purging capabilities,
  allowing the sample compartment to be purged at a higher rate than the instrument
• 'Plug-and-Go'™ lamp management - lamps are now easily replaced and pre-aligned, requiring no adjustment. The lamp management electronics ensures that a wider range
  of lamp designs can be accommodated
• LockDown™ mechanism - you can mount accessories in the sample compartment quickly, easily and reproducibly. You'll spend less time on set up and more time on analysis!
