Why it’s a good idea to use self masking cuvettes… This article explains why it is important to use black walled cells for low volume work. We performed this experiment on a Varian Cary 500 a number of years ago to demonstrate this. The experiment: Take a suitable visible and stable chemcal, and make up

The primary difference between a cuvette and a test tube is that a cuvette has two straight sides whereas a test tube does not. Furthermore, cuvettes and test tubes serve distinct purposes and have different chemical compositions. In analytical chemistry, both the cuvette and the test tube are commonly used as analytical instruments. Both of

UV – VIS absorption measurement cells or cuvettes as they are commonly called are glass or quartz rectangular cells which are used for holding the sample and reference solutions in beam path for making absorbance measurements. These are delicate items which require extreme care in handling to avoid breakage and at same time ensure accuracy

Hi everyone!  We’re back with another exciting post about our favorite topic.  Can you guess what it is? That’s right!  Cuvettes!!  We sure love to love cuvettes here at qvarz.com and do you know what we love even more? Providing you with the most complete information on cuvettes on the web. What is a Cuvette?

A spectrophotometer is ideal for determining how much a material absorbs or transmits a certain wavelength of light, resulting in concentration and purity information. In a normal research lab, a spectrophotometer includes a standard-sized chamber in which a cuvette is inserted, allowing a certain wavelength of light to travel a set distance through the sample, known as

Hi everyone, we are here with some important information that will save you tons of headaches.  I have two words: cuvette rack. Get yourself one now! So it’s only fair if I explain why I feel that you need a cuvette rack so strongly. I’ve made a list of the top 10 reasons why you

Cuvette volume is the maximum amount of sample that a cuvette can safely hold.  The most common capacity is 3.5 mL for a standard 10 mm cell, but how do we figure it out? How We Calculate Cuvette Volume It is very easy to calculate the volume of any cuvette.  We have dimension charts on

For the purpose of photometric analyses of liquid samples, the solution must be placed into the light path of a photometer in a defined format. Cuvettes, i.e. sample containers featuring optical windows, are the standard choice for this application.

Hi everyone!  We’re back with another great article for you.  This time we’ll be covering general lab safety when using a UV Cell, aka a UV cuvette.  Now a lot of people can be careless.  So proper lab safety can save your health and in some cases, your life.  We’re just going to go over a
