Varian Cary 5 functional again

18.10.2023

The repair of the Varian (now Agilent) Cary 5 UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer has been completed. It works within specs again and uses modern software. Hence we want to make it accesible to others.

Despite its age its performance is comparable if not the same as the top of the line instruments Cary 5000 which shares the optical design. (The photometric range is lower with 6 ABS compared to the Cary 5000's 8 ABS.)

We would like to thank the dean's office for their generous support in financing the repairs.
