The Agilent Cary 3500 Compact UV-Vis is a double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer designed for accurate absorbance, concentration, kinetic, and temperature-controlled measurements in both research and routine laboratories. Featuring an integrated air-cooled Peltier system, a xenon flash lamp, and a modular architecture, it delivers high analytical performance with minimal maintenance. The instrument is ready for regulated environments and supports data integrity through Agilent OpenLab software.
