Agilent Cary 4000/5000/6000i series UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers are double beam, ratio recording, double out-of-plane Littrow monochromator UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers (Agilent Cary 4000 is UV-Vis only)
This document provides guaranteed performance specifications for the Agilent Cary 4000/5000/6000i Series UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers. These specifications are based on a ±4 sigma statistical confidence level derived from final acceptance tests performed at the factory, rather than typical values.
The document details specific performance metrics for three models: the Cary 4000 (UV-Vis only), the Cary 5000 (UV-Vis-NIR with PbS detector), and the Cary 6000i (UV-Vis-NIR with InGaAs detector). Key parameters covered include monochromator type, wavelength range, photometric accuracy, stray light levels, and instrument dimensions.
