Quartz 10mm Large Screw-Cap Cuvette, 3.5ml, Molded 0.01, Four-Way Light, Screw Cap, 1pc/ea, C104TF6
Description
The C104TF6 is a quartz screw-top cuvette with 10 mm path length and four-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 3.5 ml internal volume (10 × 10 × 43 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Molded 0.01 (>83% transmittance) — precision-molded from a single piece of quartz with ultra-precision ±0.01 mm dimensional tolerance, eliminating adhesive joints entirely. The PTFE-lined screw cap threads securely onto the cuvette, providing a leak-proof seal that prevents evaporation of volatile solvents and protects air-sensitive samples. The threaded closure allows safe inversion mixing and sample transport without spills.

Spectroscopy Applications
Why Four-Way Light?
Four-way light cuvettes have all four vertical faces polished to optical grade, enabling both standard absorbance measurements and 90° fluorescence detection geometry. The excitation beam enters through one face while emission is collected at right angles through an adjacent face — the standard configuration required by fluorimeters and spectrofluorometers.
Why a PTFE-Lined Screw Cap?
The internal-thread screw cap design provides the most secure closure available for standard cuvettes. Unlike friction-fit caps or stoppers, the threaded connection resists accidental opening during sample handling, vortex mixing, or transport. The PTFE liner ensures chemical inertness and a tight seal against vapour loss — critical when working with volatile organic solvents, concentrated acids, or extended kinetic measurements. The screw cap can be repeatedly removed and replaced without degradation.
Why Molded 0.01 (Ultra-Precision)?
Molded 0.01 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.
