Optical glass and quartz cuvettes - WPI

WPI’s glass and synthetic quartz cuvettes are ideal for UV/VIS/NIR absorbance oruorescence experiments.

Synthetic quartz can be used in deep UV applications and is recommended for uorescent applications, as it does not exhibit background uorescence. Quartz cuvettes (absorbance, uorescence and ow) are shipped individually packaged, glass cuvettes are shipped in packages of 10 cuvettes. These economic quartz and glass cuvettes are ideal for precision measurements because of their high quality materials used and their low manufacturing tolerances. Typical transmissioncurves of glass and synthetic quartz cuvettesare shown in Fig. 1 (cuvettes were empty, thickness 1.25 mm x 2, including surface re ections, measured with a TIDAS II against air as reference).
