What it is

The Agilent Cary 5000 is a double-beam UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer that operates across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelength regions. The instrument uses a double-grating monochromator and provides a spectral bandwidth down to 0.01 nm.^[1]^[2]

Applications

The Cary 5000 is used to measure the optical properties of a broad range of materials, including turbid suspensions, highly scattering samples, biological specimens such as DNA, proteins, and enzymes, photoresists, catalysts, oil shale, and solar cells. Special attachments enable spectro-electrochemical and electrocatalytic measurements, thin-film anti-reflection characterization, detection of heavy metals in water, and color measurements.^[2]
