The document provides an overview of the design and performance specifications of the Agilent Cary 100/300 Series UV-Vis spectrophotometers. These spectrophotometers feature a double beam, dual chopper, ratio recording, Czerny-Turner 0.278 m monochromator centrally controlled by a PC. The Cary 300 model has double dispersion, while the Cary 100 model has single dispersion. They both have a high light throughput optical system with all reflective optical design and high-speed accurate scanning. The spectrophotometers can be optionally equipped with a centrally controlled accessory system. They utilize a high-performance R928 photomultiplier tube, a tungsten halogen visible source with a quartz window, and a deuterium arc ultraviolet source. The Agilent Cary 100/300 Series UV-Vis spectrophotometers are manufactured according to a quality management system certified to ISO 9001. The guaranteed specifications are based on the ±4 sigma statistical confidence level of the final acceptance tests performed at the factory. Typical specifications are not reported in this document.
This document provides guaranteed specifications for the Agilent Cary 100 and Cary 300 Series UV-Vis spectrophotometers. These specifications are based on a +4 sigma statistical confidence level of final acceptance tests performed at the factory, rather than typical performance values. The instruments feature a double beam, dual chopper design with a Czerny-Turner monochromator and are centrally controlled by a PC.
