#VARIAN CARY 50 SOFTWARE UPDATE#

It seems stupid to me that we are forced by the company to waste grant money on a new instrument only because our CD is scratched. After that, the absorbance for the sample was read using a Varian Cary 50 UVvis spectrophotometer (Varian Inc., Middelburg, The Netherlands). The Cary WinUV software consists of various applications, depending on the Cary. I don't necessarily support piracy but we do have our instrument in perfect condition AND the original CDs.

I was wondering if there was any other way I could get access to this software, otherwise our instrument is basically bricked (it is impossible to use it), since Agilent is not really cooperating with us. Varian Australia Pty Ltd must be obtained before either the documentation or the software is copied, reproduced.

We contacted the company to see if they could provide support and give us a new license or a way to fix our installation but their tech support was dismissive and didn't really help us at all, I don't think they care about our instrument since it is a bit old (it works perfectly with the correct software though). They were probably scratched at some point in the past few years.

#VARIAN CARY 50 SOFTWARE UPDATE#

We recently had to update the PC that was connected with this instrument and, unfortunately, the installation CDs for the software (yes, it came on CDs) don't work anymore.

This software is necessary to manage the instrument and use it for kinetic measurements, etc. I'm currently using an Agilent Cary 50 UV/Vis instrument which came bundled with the WinUV (link with some description: ) software.
