qX2/Cary60
Air-cooled, Peltier-controlled cuvette holder for the Cary 60 (or Cary 50) UV/Vis SpectrophotometerThe qX2/Cary60 is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder with two optical ports for use in your Cary 60 (or Cary 50). Install the qX2/Cary60, by screwing it down in place in the sample compartment. Utilities may be routed through a small panel in the back of the spectrophotometer. Use the qX2/Cary60 to set and maintain precise sample temperatures and stir at a steady reproducible rate, while bathing the cuvette in a controlled gaseous environment. Although dependent on rapid, precise Peltier technology, no circulating water is required for normal operation from 0 °C to 110 °C. Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, and operate the qX2/Cary60 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. Control the qX2/Cary60 using the TC 1B Temperature Controller, included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase. Alternatively, use an ADL program for temperature ramping with WinUV ADL Shell software.
