FAQ: Cary Win UV cool tricks on Graphics Windows
On most applications, there are some things we can do to make the graphics window look different and sometimes easier to read. This information relates to the use of the SCAN Application, but can also apply to other applications.
FAQ: How to Run Cary UV/Vis Instrument Performance Tests
When necessary, the operator of a Cary UV/Visible instrument can perform tests to access the performance of the instrument and software. The following steps outline execution of these performance tests.
Why Do We Perform a Zero and Baseline in Scan?
The purpose for zeroing is to balance both the reference beam and the sample beam. By adjusting to zero, the instrument readings reflect the absence of sample.

The biochemistry teaching laboratories at Iowa State University have relied on the outstanding performance and reliability of the Cary 60 scanning spectrophotometers. Since 2000, our twelve Cary spectrophotometers have continued to be the workhorse in our teaching laboratories. A major concern for a teaching laboratory is the reliability of instrumentation, and the continued support and service provided long after purchase. After many years of heavy use in a teaching setting, all our Cary 60 instruments have proven to be of very high-quality with outstanding durability. We design our biochemistry curriculum to prepare students for research-based career paths that demand technologically curre

Color Measurements by Agilent UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometers
Humans perceive color when light interacts with objects using photoreceptors in the eye, primarily through the processes of transmission or reflection. Color measurements using UV-Vis spectrophotometers use the same principle as the human eye. However, UV-Vis spectrophotometers can objectively obtain a value that describes the color by offsetting the color of light used to illuminate the sample. The best choice of instrument for a particular application will depend on sample type and analysis requirements. This white paper describes the options for color measurements that are available from Agilent, including an overview of the Cary WinUV Color application that translates spectral data according to various geometrical coordinates and illumination systems.

The Cary 60 UV-Vis Allows Fast and Convenient Fluoride Concentration Measurements
Fluoride ions are found in almost all types of water from groundwater and drinking water to wastewater. While low levels of fluoride are considered safe by the World Health Organization, exposure to excessive amounts of fluorides may lead to a wide range of adverse health effects. In a recent application note, the Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Cary WinUV software were used to conveniently and accurately quantify fluorides in water as described in the SPADNS colorimetric method. Read the application note.
