What type of cuvettes can be used in the ultraviolet?

What type of cuvettes can be used in the ultraviolet?

fused quartz
Glass cuvettes are typically for use in the wavelength range of visible light, whereas fused quartz tends to be used for ultraviolet applications.

Which cuvettes can be used under visible region in UV spectrophotometer?

Glass cuvettes
The cuvette required will depend on the wavelength range required and the sample volume available. Glass cuvettes are only suitable for the visible region, whereas quartz may be used in both the UV and visible region.

What is a UV-Vis spectrophotometer used for?

UV-Vis Spectroscopy (or Spectrophotometry) is a quantitative technique used to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light. This is done by measuring the intensity of light that passes through a sample with respect to the intensity of light through a reference sample or blank.

Which is the best Agilent UV-Vis spectrophotometer?

With a proven record in optical design excellence and innovation, Agilent Cary spectrophotometers deliver unparalleled performance. Cary UV-Vis spectrophotometers are ideal for both routine and research measurements, with flexibility and reliability.

What kind of Cuvette do I need for a UV cell?

For UV experiments, you absolutely need an ES quartz cuvette and it’s highly recommended that you do not try to cut corners here because by getting a cheap UV cell, your data will not be up to par. 3. IR Quartz is an amazing choice for cuvettes for UV-vis range measurements.

What’s the transmission range of a cuvette UV lens?

This cuvette material is sufficient for work in the visible range and has a decent transmission range from 340-2,500nm and transmission rate of approx. 82% at 350nm of an empty cell. Most applications will fall in this range and many do not need the additional UV range that you get with the quartz materials. 2.
