Classics & Upgrades
Do you need a best-in-class UV/Vis, UV/Vis/NIR, or IR spectrophotometry system?
Sometimes, “best” was made long ago.
Optics age very (very) slowly. Why replace them decades early? Instead, replace only what does age quickly: the electro-mechanical hardware and any primitive computerization.
We only support best-in-class equipment. This includes all OLIS spectrophotometers, plus the Cary 14/17, HP 8453, and PE 983.
With new electro-mechanical hardware and Win 11 OLIS software, these models become best-in-class, usually at a lower price point than lesser all-new alternatives.
“It should be illegal for companies to still make spectrophotometers with designed-in-obsolescence.”
Once upcycled, OLIS products are warrantied and supported as brand-new. We consider them “new,” and you can, too.
DON’T LET ANYONE TALK YOU INTO WASTING YEARS OF USE FROM A GREAT OLDER INSTRUMENT IN THEIR QUEST TO SELL YOU SOMETHING NEW.
-
OLIS 8453 UV/Vis
Originally a classic HP 8453
• At this price point, you cannot get a higher value UV/Vis for clear sample studies.
• 4th decimal place sensitivity
• 190-1100 nm, 1 nm resolution
-
OLIS 14 UV/Vis/NIR
Originally the great Cary 14 or Cary 17
• Almost no one could afford a Cary 14 today. Its original price comes to over $150K in 2025 currency. But buying it completely upcycled from us is easily within the budget of anyone shopping today for the best UV/Vis/NIR.
• Modernize yours or purchase complete system from us.
• 185-2600 nm, angstrom resolution, negligible stray light
-
OLIS 983 IR
Originally the best dispersive IR by PE
• The gold standard dispersive IR used by optical coating giants and others demanding ultimate Y-axis precision.
• Already own a PE 983? We can upcycle it! Don't own one? Buy a complete system from us.
• After modernization, you’ll be using OLIS Win11 software and today’s best electro-mechanical hardware.
