Description

The C102CS53 is a quartz black-walled micro cuvette with 10mm 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 150ul internal volume (1 × 10 × 22 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Standard 80 (>80% transmittance) — precision-glued quartz construction, an industry-proven assembly method. The friction-fit PTFE cap serves as a dust cover that keeps particulates out of the sample during measurements. Features the same black-walled micro design as its companion, with black masking on two faces and clear optical windows on the measurement faces, providing 150ul capacity with excellent stray-light rejection.

Why Two-Way Light?

Two-way light cuvettes have two opposite vertical faces polished to optical grade, forming the standard transmission geometry for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. The remaining two faces are frosted to minimize stray-light interference, providing clean baseline performance for quantitative spectrophotometry.

Why a PTFE Cap?

The friction-fit PTFE cap serves as a dust cover that keeps particulates and contaminants out of the sample during measurements. PTFE is chemically inert and will not leach absorbing compounds into the sample. While not airtight, the cap reduces evaporation during short measurement cycles and protects the optical surfaces when the cuvette is stored.

Why Standard 80?

Standard 80 uses precision-glued quartz construction — an industry-proven assembly method delivering >80% UV transmittance from 200–2500 nm. The optical adhesive bond is optimized for aqueous (water-based) solutions, making this fabrication ideal for routine spectrophotometry, QC testing, and educational labs where the sample matrix is known and gentle. Standard 80 offers a cost-effective entry point with reliable, repeatable results under normal operating conditions.

Usage Tips

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.
Suitable for aqueous (water-based) solutions only. Do not use with organic solvents, strong acids, or strong bases.
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.
