Description

The C102SS12 is a quartz stoppered closed flow cell with 10 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 1.3 ml internal volume (10 × 10 × 43 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Sintered 83 (>83% transmittance) — quartz panels are thermally fused at approximately 600 °C, producing joints free of organic adhesive. The sealed flow cell design features inlet and outlet ports for continuous sample delivery, eliminating the need for an open-top stopper.

Flow Cell & Spectroscopy Applications

◆ Continuous-flow UV-Vis monitoring

◆ Stopped-flow kinetics & reaction dynamics

◆ Flow-injection analysis (FIA)

◆ HPLC & LC post-column detection

◆ On-line process monitoring

◆ Sealed volatile sample measurement

◆ Quantitative chemical analysis

◆ UV-Vis absorbance (190–2500 nm)

Why Two-Way Light?

The two-way configuration polishes two opposite vertical faces to optical grade — the standard geometry for UV-Vis absorbance (transmission) measurements. The excitation beam passes through one polished face, traverses the sample path, and exits through the opposite polished face to the detector. The two non-polished (frosted) faces reduce stray-light scatter, improving photometric accuracy. This is the most common and cost-effective configuration for routine absorbance work.

Closed Flow Cell Design

This closed flow cell features sealed inlet and outlet ports for continuous sample delivery, combined with a compact 1.3 ml internal volume and 22 mm total height. The sealed design prevents evaporation and atmospheric contamination during flow measurements. Ideal for integration with pumps, autosamplers, HPLC systems, and flow-injection analysis setups. The reduced height makes it compatible with instruments that have limited vertical clearance in the sample compartment.

Why Sintered 83 Construction?

Sintered 83 cuvettes are assembled by thermally fusing precision quartz panels at approximately 600 °C, eliminating organic adhesive from the joints. The resulting cuvette is compatible with strong acids, bases, and most organic solvents (excluding HF and aggressive organics such as toluene and acetone). With transmittance >83%, optical performance surpasses adhesive-bonded alternatives. Sintered construction is the preferred choice when solvent resistance is required but the higher cost of fully molded cuvettes is not justified.

Usage Tips: Handle by non-optical surfaces only — fingerprints on polished faces introduce scattering artifacts. Ensure tubing connections are secure to prevent leaks. Sintered 83 construction is compatible with strong acids, bases, and most organic solvents (excluding HF and aggressive organics such as toluene and acetone). Compatible with Shimadzu, Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, JASCO, Hitachi, Horiba, Edinburgh Instruments, and most commercial spectrophotometers.
