Description

The C0.52CR1 is a IR quartz (JGS3 fused silica) standard cuvette with 0.5 mm path length and two-way light optical windows, designed for Vis-NIR and mid-IR spectrophotometry across 260–3500 nm. The two-way light configuration transmits the beam through two opposing polished optical faces while the two frosted sides minimize stray light interference and internal reflections, delivering clean baseline performance for absorbance measurements. Fabricated using Sintered 83 — a high-temperature sintering process at 600 °C that fuses quartz components without adhesive — this cuvette achieves >83% transmittance with excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents. The sintered bond withstands repeated thermal cycling without degradation. Includes a ptfe cap for chemical-resistant sealing. Supplied as a pack of two for cost-effective parallel or comparative experiments.

Applications

◆ Near-infrared (NIR) absorbance spectroscopy for organic compound analysis

◆ Mid-infrared (MIR) measurements of O–H, C–H, and N–H overtone bands

◆ FTIR liquid transmission cells for aqueous and non-aqueous solutions

◆ Pharmaceutical QC of active ingredients via NIR/MIR absorption

◆ Petrochemical and fuel analysis (hydrocarbon fingerprinting)

◆ Environmental monitoring of water contaminants in the IR region

Why This Cuvette?

The two-way light configuration (two polished optical faces, two frosted sides) provides clean absorbance measurements with minimal stray light. The frosted faces reduce internal reflections and scattering, improving baseline stability and signal-to-noise ratio — particularly important for low-absorbance measurements near the detection limit. The 0.5 mm path length reduces absorbance by 20× compared to a standard 10 mm cuvette (Beer-Lambert law: A = εlc), making it well-suited for moderately concentrated samples that would saturate a longer-path cell.

Usage Tips: Handle by the frosted (non-optical) sides to avoid fingerprints on the polished windows — even trace skin oils absorb strongly in the mid-IR and will distort your spectra. Fill to at least 15 mm above the beam center height. For IR measurements, ensure your reference (blank) uses the same cuvette type to cancel out residual JGS3 absorption features. Clean with spectroscopic-grade solvent and lint-free tissue; avoid water residue for MIR work as the broad O–H absorption band will interfere with your measurement. Compatible with Shimadzu, Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, JASCO, Bruker FTIR, and most commercial spectrophotometers with standard 12.5 mm cuvette holders.
