Charge Complete!
Portable power has become very prevalent in daily life, with more devices housing their own power source than ever before. This morning while taking the bus to work, I counted at least 7 devices I used—or came in close contact...
Unmatched Performance of High-End Cary UV-Vis-NIR
The Cary name has been around for a long time, and is synonymous with peerless spectroscoping prowess. We’ve seen Cary 5000/Cary 6000i and Cary 7000 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers actually ...
The Cary 60 UV-Vis and its nearly endless supply of accessories
We’ve written before about the many accolades of the powerful yet accessible Cary 60 UV-Vis and its highly flexible software. This instrument’s popularity seemingly knows no...
It’s all about transmission
Raman spectroscopy has already demonstrated itself to be a useful analytical method in laboratory and process settings, owing to straightforward optical setups, highly specific chemical signatures in spectra, and th...
My Green Lab’s ACT labelling - Accountability, consistency, and transparency
There are many reasons why I like working at Agilent. One of those is Agilent’s progress towards sustainability and ultimately a zero-carbon future. Collaborati...
Previously, on the Molecular Spectroscopy blog
In part 1 of this series, we discussed which Cary 630 FTIR Sampling Technologies are best suited for most routine experiments. We’ll now take a look at more exotic experiment setups and see how th...
Chemical imaging has a new name: LDIR (Laser Direct Infrared Imaging)
I absolutely love infrared microscopy. Distinguishing between seemingly identical materials using light we cannot even see feels nothing short of a fantastic trick. This isn&rsquo...
Cary 630 FTIR leads with ease in robustness and flexibility
The Cary 630 FTIR is truly a unique specimen in the FTIR market. Significantly smaller than other benchtop instruments, the Cary 630 FTIR boasts similar (if not superior in certain cases) p...
Cary WinUV software and its many data plotting tools
In the first part of this series, we looked at some straightforward hardware approaches for extra spectral fidelity in routine analyses from the incredibly versatile Cary 60 UV-Vis spectroph...
Rapid through-barrier raw material identification
Point. Click. Get a pass or fail result.
It almost seems like magic at first, a workflow so simple it begs the question, why do it any other way? Through-barrier raw material identification is an abs...
Howard H. Cary: an instrumental scientist ahead of his time
It certainly sounds simple on paper: generate light, separate it into its constituents, send it to a sample. This is the most straightforward interpretation of molecular spectrophotometry, ...
Cary 60 UV-Vis does it all: “Yes, we scan!”
The Cary 60 UV-Vis has a long-standing reputation of being a powerful workhorse in the routine analysis UV-Vis market. The system handles everything from routine pharmaceutical analyses to opti...
The Cary 3500 UV-Vis spectrophotometer already made waves upon release back in 2018, with its unique modular interface. Users could pick and choose which modules to get according to their needs, and the ability to quickly swap between modules withou...
