Cary 3500 Flexible UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
The Cary 3500 Flexible UV-Vis is a double beam spectrophotometer with superior photometric performance that can be deployed in regulated environments. The system offers a unique large sample compartment with small footprint for analyzing liquid samples that require long pathlength cuvettes, as well as characterizing solid samples.
- Reduced energy consumption: for example, Xenon source lamp only flashes when a reading is taken, no warmup time
- Reduced hazardous waste production: Xenon source lamp comes with a 10-year warranty so there is no need to frequently replace and dispose of lamps
- Long-lasting instrument with minimal maintenance
- Manufactured using renewable energy
- End-of-life take-back programs ensure that the product is properly recycled
