Superior Optical PerformanceEngineered with high-purity quartz, this micro cell guarantees over 80% optical transmission between 220 nm and 900 nm. Its precise 10 mm path length ensures accurate spectrophotometric readings, which is critical for low-volume biological and chemical analyses.
Enhanced Sample Protection and UsabilityFrosted walls provide reliable, non-slip handling during use and reduce the intrusion of stray light. The flat quartz lid fits securely to prevent evaporation and contamination, making it ideal for sensitive micro-volume applications in laboratory settings.
Robust Design for Laboratory DemandsThis cuvette boasts exceptional chemical resistance, enduring acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. It can be easily autoclaved or rinsed with distilled water or compatible solutions. Its rectangular flat-bottom shape and compact size (approx. 12.5 mm 4.5 mm 45 mm) support versatility and ergonomic laboratory workflow.
FAQs of MICRO CELL WITH FROSTED WALLS AND WITH LID FOR UV SPECTROPHOTOMETER:
Q: How do I properly clean and maintain the micro quartz cell with frosted walls and lid?
A: After each use, rinse the cell thoroughly with distilled water or a compatible cleaning solution. For more thorough sterilization, the cuvette can be autoclaved without risking damage. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the high-purity quartz surfaces.
Q: What makes the frosted walls beneficial for UV spectrophotometric analysis?
A: Frosted walls reduce stray light, improving measurement accuracy, while also ensuring a firm grip for non-slip handling during manual sample loading. This minimizes accidental sample loss or cross-contamination in sensitive laboratory workflows.
Q: When should I use a micro cell with a lid in my spectrophotometric assays?
A: Whenever sample evaporation or contamination is a concern, especially for micro-volume measurements in biological or chemical analyses, using a micro cell with a tightly sealed quartz lid ensures improved sample integrity throughout the procedure.
Q: Where is the micro quartz cell compatible and what spectrophotometers can it be used with?
A: It is designed to fit standard UV spectrophotometer sample holders and accommodates devices with measurement ranges from 190 nm to 900 nm, making it suitable for use in most laboratory UV/Vis spectrophotometers.
Q: What is the recommended process for loading samples into the micro quartz cell?
A: Manually load the liquid sample into the cell, ensuring volume falls within the cells capacity (0.5 mL 2 mL; standard 1.5 mL). After loading, securely place the matched quartz lid to prevent evaporation and maintain sample purity during analysis.
Q: Why is high optical transmission significant for UV/Vis measurements?
A: Achieving greater than 80% optical transmission between 220 nm and 900 nm ensures minimal light loss and maximizes detection accuracy for low-concentration samples, which is crucial for protein, nucleic acid, and enzyme quantification.
Q: What volume markings are available, and how is fill volume determined?
A: Volume markings are not included, so fill volume is dictated by the physical dimensions of the cell. Measuring liquid with a calibrated pipette ensures precise volume for quantitative spectrophotometric assessments.
