Transmittance of light through oil dispersions
Great tool that's easy to use and able to reliably reproduce results to a high standard.

Enzyme kinetics, UC spectra
Solid instrument, tricky software, costly software updates.

Botanical extracts and pigments
It is a workhorse in our lab but we would appreciate if there was the ability to make changes to text field boxes on the interface data collection screen etc.

Analysis of Nanomaterials, Peptides, Antibody-Dye conjugates, etc.
We used this instrument nearly daily in our nanomaterials lab. It received heavy use and seldom had issues. The biggest issue that we had was that the halogen bulbs had around 1/2 the life of a standard halogen bulb. That being said, it uses bog-standard H1 automotive bulbs which you can pick up at any auto-parts store for $5-10 (in comparison to custom bulbs which tend to run $50-100). This is a huge plus in my book because when the bulb died, I didn't have to wait for purchasing to order a new one. I just drove down to the nearest Autozone and boom I'm back in business. Plus at this price, we kept 3-4 in stock as backups! The performance of the instrument was VERY good with day-to-day variation being very low.

Spectroscopy
I used this spectrophotometer for analysing the dispersion of nanotubers in polymer solution. As there are two beams, one passing the reference and the other passing the sample, the background can be well removed and data is more accurate.

Spechtrophotometry
This is a reliable spectrophotometer. I used it for analysing the dispersion of CNT in solvent. As there are two beams, one passing the reference and the other passing the sample, the background can be well removed and data is more accurate.

nanoparticles scattering spectra
The Cary 100 is easy to use with a good software interface for beginners and advanced options for the more expert users. I got good S/N ratio for silver nanoparticle solutions LSPR spectra. It has fast readouts based on scan speed that is chosen.

Routine abs measurements
Very stable and easy to use. However after the acquisition by Agilent, service has been spotty at best. The instrument is very easy to reconfigure and change lamps. You can use validation tests to test for instrument performance.

bioanalytical/astrobiology
It’s a great instrument for teaching labs, easy to use for students, and fairly simple to understand. It’s good for teaching students the fundamentals of spectroscopy. However, it's probably not very good for data that requires high sensitivity, and the interface is uncomplicated but not very customizable.
