Cary 50 features

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.

  Cary 50 design

The award-winning Cary 50 instrument relies upon innovative design. By using a simple design with only 4 moving parts, a Xenon flash lamp and electronics contained in the PC, the Cary 50 represents a major change in UV-Vis spectroscopy.

The long-life of the Xenon lamp means that you may never have to change the lamp. And because the Cary 50 gets its power from the PC, it is only on when the PC is switched on. This also means that if something goes wrong with the electronics, fixing the problem is as simple as changing the board in the PC.

The Cary 50 is controlled by the Cary WinUV software, which features an easy-to-use, Windows based, modular design.  

The Cary 50 is unaffected by room light. You can operate with the sample compartment open or closed, you won't notice the difference. So, if your sample won't quite fit in the sample compartment, it's OK, you can leave the lid off. If you want to keep dust, dirt and room light out of the sample compartment, then you can use the lid.
