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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
