13 mL Quartz Cuvette: More Sample Space on a 10 mm Path (MQQCU015)
Custom design guide · MQQCU015
A wider chamber provides 13 mL listed nominal capacity while retaining a 10 mm optical path. The benefit is additional sample space; the selection task is supporting that width and defining the working liquid level.

Make room for more liquid without changing the path
Some methods need a larger sample space without a longer optical distance. MQQCU015 is a configuration to consider for that requirement: a 37 × 12 × 50 mm quartz body with a nominal 10 mm path and 13 mL capacity. The wide chamber and the optical path describe different features.
The wider footprint needs a support designed around it, rather than an assumption that a square-cell holder will work. The open top also needs access for loading and removal. A reference line on the frosted face can help communicate a liquid-level requirement, but is not evidence of a calibrated volume scale.
The listed configuration

How the structure differs from a conventional cell
The chamber extends across a broader width while keeping the specified measurement direction at 10 mm. This changes available sample space, support and handling rather than automatically increasing the measured path. A larger liquid capacity alone does not establish a stronger optical signal.
Specify the working liquid level and support together
If the method requires a particular amount of liquid, give that working amount, the beam position and the space available. We can review width, height and useful liquid level together. The amount that covers the beam may differ from the listed nominal capacity.
For a reference-line change, mark its position from the base and explain whether it is a visual guide or a verified volume requirement. Also show how the holder supports the wide body and where the operator can grip it. These details make a capacity request usable as a design brief.

Three checks for the proposed setup
- Optical direction. Mark the 10 mm path separately from the 37 mm outside width.
- Working level. Relate the required liquid level to the beam and available sample.
- Wide-body handling. Show support, grip clearance and insertion/removal movement.
Check the wide body before loading it
Use the full outline to check support and repeatable orientation, then plan filling and emptying with the intended tip. The reference line is annotated 40 mm from the base; its accuracy and any volume represented need their own acceptance requirement. Keep clamping and gripping away from optical faces and agree residue-specific cleaning.
Can the reference line be positioned for our loading procedure?
Send the target height from a clear base datum and explain the working level needed by the method. If the line must represent a calibrated volume, state the volume, conditions and verification requirement separately. Do not infer calibration from the existing visible mark.
Engineering dimension reference
The reference records known external dimensions and configuration notes. Internal geometry, tolerances and operating limits still require a project-specific specification.
