Spectrophotometers are used to measure the concentration of a known substance in a solution. They do this by passing a light through the substance and measuring light intensity as a function of wavelength. Either single beam or double beam spectrophotometers can be purchased. In a single beam spectrophotometer, a reference standard is used to measure light intensity before and after the sample is loaded. For double beam spectrophotometers the beam is split with one beam passing through the standard and the other through the sample to compare intensities. While single beam spectrophotometers are typically less expensive and have higher sensitivity, double beam spectrophotometers tend to be more stable and easier to use. Spectrophotometers are important pieces of equipment in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, clinical, and materials testing labs.

| Description | The Cary 6000i UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer has been tailored for unmatched photometric performance in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) 800–1800 nm range as well as the UV-visible 175 to 800 nm. Using narrow-band InGaAs detection and a 600 lines-per-mm diffaction grating for improved SWIR sensivity, The Cary 6000i UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer has been tailored for unmatched photometric performance in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) 800–1800 nm range as well as the UV-visible 175 to 800 nm. Using narrow-band InGaAs detection and a 600 lines-per-mm diffaction grating for improved SWIR sensivity, the Cary 6000i is the ultimate tool for materials characterization spectroscopy.
Using Cary WinUV software with the Cary 6000i makes it easy to perform powerful analysis and control optional accessories. The large sample compartment can be expanded to hold large accessories and integrating spheres for spectral and diffuse reflectance. The LockDown mechanism makes it possible to quickly change and position accessories for reproducible results.
