The document provides an overview of the design and performance specifications of the Agilent Cary 100/300 Series UV-Vis spectrophotometers. The series features a double beam, dual chopper, ratio recording, Czerny-Turner 0.278 m monochromator structure centrally controlled by a computer. It has a high light throughput optical system with all reflective optical design and high-speed accurate scanning capabilities. The spectrophotometers also come with an optional centrally-controlled accessory system. They are equipped with a high-performance R928 photomultiplier tube, a tungsten-halogen visible source with a quartz window, and a deuterium arc ultraviolet source. The products in the Cary 100/300 Series are manufactured according to a quality management system certified to ISO 9001. The specifications provided in the document are based on the average results of the final acceptance tests performed in the factory using a sample of over two thousand Cary 100 and 300 UV-Vis instruments. These specifications are not guaranteed, and guaranteed specifications are listed in a separate publication based on the ±4 sigma statistical confidence level.
This document provides typical specifications for the Agilent Cary 100 and Cary 300 Series UV-Vis spectrophotometers. The instruments feature a double beam design with dual choppers and ratio recording capabilities. The Cary 300 model includes a pre-monochromator, while the Cary 100 does not.
