Handling, Cleaning & Storage Of Cuvettes Of Spectrophotometer

1. Handle the cuvettes carefully to avoid breakage. With this technique, the optimum gain is adjusted to the highest standard of sodium used, and an attempt is made to keep the lighter free of sodium impurities emitted by the actual samples and standards analyzed, since these impurities may introduce undesirable emissions or obstruct the passage of fluids through the lighter; when the flow decreases, the signal obtained will also decrease.

MS® Disposable Plastic Cuvettes are available in polystyrene or PMMA, are very chemically compatible, and can be used with most polar organic solvents, as well as acids and mold cavity number is used to group plastic cuvettes at production time; this helps to ensure the lowest cuvette-to-cuvette variation in extinction coefficient.

For solutions with absorption coefficients that are too high for a standard path length cuvette, we have cuvettes with path lengths as short as 1 mm. You can acheive a ten-times reduction in absorbance by simply swapping spectrophotometer cuvettes, rather than wasting time and solvent by needing to dilute your solutions.

According to a second variant of the invention a cuvette for the measurement of the adsorption of beams in liquid probes has a cuvette body in which there is formed an inner space for receiving sample fluid and which comprises at least one pair of planar-parallel windows lying opposite one another at a distance, which on four corners comprises protruding ribs running axially at least over a part of the height of the cuvette body, wherein the whole cuvette cross section is arranged within imagined connecting lines through the end points of the ribs.

As per the data shown in Figure 8, the autoabsorbance of the µCuvette can be compared to that of a quartz cuvette, with <0.1A at 260nm, but is much lower than the autoabsorbance exhibited by the microcuvette of a different manufacturer, which is roughly 0.6A at 260nm.

Photometer: After the desired range of wavelength of light passes through the solution of a sample in cuvette, the photometer detects the amount of photons that is absorbed and then sends a signal to a galvanometer or a digital display, as illustrated in Figure 1.

This brings the cost of a glass sample holder down to approximately $1 USD and the cost of a quartz sample holder down to approximately $14 USD, including the cost of the 3D printed plastic support ( Table S1 ). Importantly, these adapted sample holders have nearly the same spectral range as the commercially available glass and quartz cuvettes ( Figure 1 D). The slight differences observed in the UV and near-infrared regions are caused by differences in the glass used in the adapter compared with the glass used in the commercial cuvette.

A generally pancake-shaped rotor assembly comprises a flanged steel rotor body 21, quartz windows 2 and 3, a slotted polytetrafluorethylene cuvette ring 4 sandwiched between quartz windows 2 and 3, polytetrafluorethylene retaining rings 5 and 6, and a steel bolted flange ring 7. Retaining rings 5 and 6, windows 2 and 3, and cuvette ring 4 are compressed between rotor body 1 and flange ring 7 to form a multiplicity of radially oriented cuvettes 8 in slotted cuvette ring 4. Spaced holes 9, l0, and 1 1 are respectively provided in flange ring 7 and retaining rings 5 and 6 in axial alignment with cuvettes 8 to permit passage through the cuvettes 8 of a light beam from a photometer or spectrophotometer light pipe and mirror assembly 31 disposed below the rotor to a photodetector 12 disposed above the rotor assembly.
