School of Chemistry and Biotechnology, Swinburne University of Technology
Agilent’s Cary 3500 with controlled stirring and wide range of temperature control options has converted me to use UV-vis spectroscopy to monitor processes in situ using this instrument. The stability of the signal allows for long term kinetic processes too, opening up a range of experiments I was unable to do beforehand due to drift. The intuitive software and data management prevents the loss of results and ensure well organized projects and archives. The Cary 3500 is most definitely an exciting advancement from any other UV-vis spectrometer I have used previously, expanding the flexibility to control more parameters while conducting research experiments.
