Moving from R&D and Limited QC on a UV-Vis-NIR instrument to Large Scale QC Using an Autosampler

The strength of the Cary 7000 is its ability to make absolute specular reflectance measurements at angles ranging from 5.2 to 85 degrees. It also can make transmission measurements during the same collection sequence thereby ensuring the same location on the sample is being interrogated. This provides the high-quality data necessary for R&Q work. The single sample holders available also allow the user the ability to QC their production runs. While time consuming, all parts of a production can be analyzed to limit return of product. The addition of an Autosampler facilitates the increase in productivity of a QC run while maintaining the workflow.

During this presentation, we will look at the aspects of adding and using an autosampler to Maximize QC Workflow.
