(VP040) Disposable Semi-Micro Absorption Cuvettes, 1.5mL, Lightpath 10mm, 285 – 750 nm, UV-vis, Isobutylene Plastic

Description

VP040 – 1.5 mL Disposable Semi-Micro Fluorescence Cuvette (Isobutylene, 10 mm Lightpath, 4 Windows, UV-Visible 285–750 nm)

The VP040 is a disposable semi-micro fluorescence cuvette made from UV-transmitting isobutylene plastic. It features a 10 mm optical path length and 4 optically clear windows, making it ideal for 90° fluorescence and standard absorbance measurements across a broad UV-Visible wavelength range (285–750 nm).

Thanks to its semi-micro design with a 5 mm internal width, only 1.5 mL of sample is required. This design makes VP040 especially suitable for limited or valuable samples while maintaining good measurement accuracy. Its disposable nature saves time and eliminates cross-contamination.

Key Features

• 10 mm optical path length: compatible with most UV-Visible spectrophotometers and fluorometers.
• 4 optical windows: supports 90° fluorescence measurements and standard absorbance readings.
• UV-Visible range (285–750 nm): wider wavelength coverage than standard polystyrene cuvettes.
• Semi-micro design: only 1.5 mL sample required, ideal for low-volume assays.
• Material: made of UV-transmitting isobutylene plastic with excellent clarity down to 285 nm.
• Cost-effective: disposable format eliminates cleaning and avoids sample carryover.
• Packaging: supplied with lids (not all sets include packaging accessories).

Typical Applications

• UV-Vis fluorescence and absorbance measurements
• Biochemical and molecular biology assays
• Enzyme kinetics and low-volume sample testing
• High-throughput experiments and teaching labs
• Applications requiring 90° fluorescence detection

About UV-Visible Semi-Micro Fluorescence Cuvettes

• Made from isobutylene plastic for extended UV-Vis transmission down to 285 nm.
• 4 clear windows allow flexible fluorescence detection configurations.
• Low sample volume minimizes waste and cost for precious samples.
• Not suitable for strong acids, bases, or organic solvents.
• Disposable design eliminates cleaning steps and prevents contamination.

Note: VP040 offers improved UV performance compared to standard PS cuvettes. For strong solvent resistance or deeper UV measurements, quartz cuvettes are recommended.
