Quartz 10 mm four-way light fluorescence cuvette, 3.5 ml, Standard 80 (>80% transmittance). PTFE-Lined Screw Cap. 190–2500 nm. Pack of Two. SKU: C104TS13.
Description
The C104TS13 is a premium quartz fluorescence cuvette with 10 mm path length and four-way light optical configuration — all four vertical faces are polished to optical grade, providing the standard 90° fluorescence geometry plus additional optical access. With a standard 3.5 ml internal volume (10 × 10 × 43 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial fluorimeters and UV-Vis spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Standard 80 (>80% transmittance) — assembled with optical-grade adhesive for reliable performance with aqueous samples. Features a PTFE-lined screw cap for secure, leak-resistant closure during mixing, inversion, or transport.

Why Four-Way Light?
The four-way configuration polishes all four vertical faces to optical grade — the standard geometry for fluorescence spectroscopy. The excitation beam enters through one face and emission is collected at 90° through an adjacent face, minimizing excitation light contamination in the emission signal. The additional two polished faces allow the cuvette to be rotated for alternative measurement geometries or simultaneous absorbance monitoring during fluorescence experiments.
Screw Cap Closure
The PTFE-lined screw cap provides secure, leak-resistant closure that allows the cuvette to be inverted for mixing, transported between workstations, or used in automated sample changers without risk of leakage. The PTFE liner is chemically inert and contributes no background fluorescence. The threaded design allows one-handed operation and consistent sealing pressure.
Why Standard 80 Construction?
Standard 80 cuvettes are assembled using optical-grade adhesive to bond precision quartz panels, achieving transmittance >80% at 200–2500 nm. This fabrication method delivers reliable optical performance at an accessible price point — ideal for routine fluorescence measurements with aqueous samples. Standard 80 cuvettes are intended for use with aqueous (water-based) solutions only; organic solvents, strong acids, or strong bases may attack the adhesive joints. For solvent-resistant applications, consider Sintered 83 or Molded 83 alternatives.
Usage Tips: Handle by non-optical surfaces only — fingerprints on polished faces cause scattering artifacts that raise fluorescence background. Rinse immediately after use. Standard 80 construction is suitable for aqueous (water-based) solutions only. Do not use with organic solvents, strong acids, or strong bases, as these may attack the adhesive joints. For fluorescence work, ensure the excitation beam enters through a polished window and the detector views at 90° through an adjacent polished face. Compatible with Shimadzu, Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, JASCO, Hitachi, Horiba, Edinburgh Instruments, and most commercial fluorimeters.
