Comparison between Cintra 6020 and Cintra 6010
Both Cintra 6020 and Cintra 6010 are UV-Vis spectrophotometers manufactured by GBC, but they differ in specifications and performance, making each more suitable for particular needs:
Optical system and accuracy:
Cintra 6020 generally offers higher wavelength and absorbance accuracy, designed for more sensitive applications requiring precise measurements, such as high-precision research or complex analyses.
Cintra 6010, compared to 6020, has somewhat lower accuracy and performance but remains suitable for most routine tests and general laboratory needs.
Spectral bandwidth:
Cintra 6020 usually provides finer control for spectral bandwidth settings.
Cintra 6010 has standard bandwidth settings, possibly better suited for more general applications.
Scan speed:
Cintra 6020 typically features higher scan speeds, beneficial for time-consuming or rapid analyses.
Cintra 6010 has lower scan speeds, which may suffice for many tests but is less suitable for fast-paced applications.
- Additional features:
Cintra 6020 may include more advanced software and compatibility with specialized accessories.
Cintra 6010 generally supports more standard accessories.
In summary, Cintra 6020 is designed for more precise and advanced needs, while Cintra 6010 is a more economical model suited for general use and standard testing.
With a wavelength range of 190 to 1200 nm and very low stray light and noise specifications, the Cintra 6020 challenges many more expensive UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers. This true double-beam spectrophotometer is suitable for routine laboratory work as well as more advanced applications extending into the NIR (near-infrared) regions. Cintra 6020 is available with a fixed 1.5 nm slit or a variable slit ranging from 0.5 nm to 3.0 nm in 0.1 nm increments.
Equipped with a full set of accessories including sample changers, automatic samplers, Peltier temperature control or water-cooled options, and integrating spheres capable of measurements up to 1150 nm, the Cintra 6020 offers maximum flexibility and power for all applications.
