Agilent Cary 300 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
Overview
The Agilent Cary 300 is a double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer designed for research-grade absorbance and transmittance measurements across the ultraviolet and visible spectrum. It incorporates a pre-monochromator to reduce stray light and improve performance when measuring highly absorbing or strongly scattering samples. The instrument supports variable slit widths and phase-locked wavelength drive to support spectral resolution control and stable peak positioning during scanning. A large sample compartment and accessory control capability support a range of cuvette- and accessory-based measurement configurations.
Highlights
- Double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer with pre-monochromator design
