Cary 6000i UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer
Cary 6000i UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer
The superior sensitivity of the narrow-band InGaAs detector is optimally harnessed by preferencing the spectrophotometers optical throughput in the SWIR region. Its 600 lines-per-mm NIR diffraction grating, blazed at 1000 nm, concentrates optical dispersion into the 800–1800 nm region, eliminating wasted photons that would otherwise fall beyond the range of the detector. The Cary 6000i is your ultimate tool for materials characterization spectroscopy.
Using Cary WinUV software with the Cary 6000i makes it easy to perform powerful analysis and control optional accessories. The large sample compartment can be expanded to hold large accessories and integrating spheres for spectral and diffuse reflectance. The LockDown mechanism makes it possible to quickly change and position accessories for reproducible results.

Product Details
- Measure beyond 8.0 absorbance units with reference beam attenuation.
- Measure 175 to 1800 nm using a narrow-band InGaAs detector and 600 l/mm NIR diffraction gratings for unmatched sensitivity in the short-wave infrared.
- Cary WinUV software—modular software with powerful analysis and enhanced transfer and report export capabilities.
- Versatile set of accessories for materials characterization spectroscopy, including spectral and diffuse reflectance.
- Variable slit widths (down to 0.01 nm) for optimum control over data resolution.
- Large sample compartment with LockDown mechanism for quick accessory changes and reproducible results.
- Maximum light throughput using Schwarzchild source coupling optics and optimized grating blaze wavelength for higher accuracy at low transmission levels.
- Minimal noise and stray light using a floating aluminum casting and double out-of-plane Littrow monochromator.
- Extended dynamic range by attenuating the reference beam to balance double beam signal levels.
- Nitrogen purging—separate purging in the sample and monochromator compartments to reduce oxygen and water vapor in the ultra-violet.

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.
