Question: Long-Term Performance and Data Quality of Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis?

11 July 2025 0 10K Report

I am considering purchasing the Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer for research in our lab. The key features like the Xenon flash lamp and microvolume capability are appealing, but I would like input from long-term users.

Specifically:

How does the Cary 60 perform in terms of data quality (wavelength accuracy, baseline stability, and photometric precision) over time?

Have you experienced any drift, reproducibility issues, or software limitations after extended use (e.g., >3–5 years)?

Is the advertised long lamp life (10+ years) realistic in practical, day-to-day lab use?

Would you choose it again for similar applications, or are there alternatives (like Shimadzu UV-1900i or Thermo Evo) that you’d now prefer?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
