Quartz 5mm Threaded Cuvette , 1.75ml, Molded 83, Two-way Light, PTFE Cap, 1pc/ea, C052CS3
Description
The C052CS3 is a quartz screw-top cuvette with 5 mm path length and two-way light optical configuration — two opposite vertical faces are polished to optical grade, forming the standard transmission geometry for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. With a 1.75 ml internal volume (10 × 5 × 43 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Molded 83 (>83% transmittance) — precision-molded from a single piece of quartz, eliminating adhesive joints entirely.

Spectroscopy Applications
Why Two-Way Light?
Two-way light cuvettes have two opposite polished faces that form the standard transmission path for absorbance measurements. The remaining two faces are frosted (ground), which blocks stray light from reaching the detector at oblique angles and improves measurement accuracy. This is the most common configuration for UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
Why Molded 83?
Molded 83 cuvettes are precision-molded from a single piece of quartz with no adhesive joints, achieving >83% transmittance. They withstand all common laboratory solvents, concentrated acids, and bases (avoid HF) — the most chemically resistant option available.
- Rinse with a compatible solvent (e.g., ethanol or the measurement solvent) before first use to remove any residual particles.
- Do not use abrasive materials or brushes on the polished optical faces — wipe gently with lens tissue.
- Withstands all common laboratory solvents, concentrated acids, and bases. Avoid HF (hydrofluoric acid).
- Store in the original protective case to prevent scratches on the optical windows.
- For baseline correction, fill with your reference solvent, cap the cuvette, and run a blank before sample measurements.
