Description

The C104CS55 is a quartz micro fluorescence cuvette offering a 10 mm path length, four optically polished faces, and a compact 1.4 ml working volume at the most accessible price point in the fluorescence micro-cuvette range. The 4 mm interior width saves 60% of sample versus a full-size 3.5 ml cell while the complete 10 mm path length satisfies Beer–Lambert law requirements for quantitative work. All four polished faces support 90° fluorescence geometry, making the cell compatible with both fluorimeters and UV-Vis spectrophotometers (190–2500 nm). Standard 80 precision-glued construction provides >80% transmittance — more than sufficient for routine fluorescence screening, teaching lab exercises, and high-volume aqueous assays where cost per cell is a deciding factor. Closed with a PTFE cap.

When Standard 80 Makes Sense

Not every fluorescence experiment needs the premium chemistry of sintered or molded construction. For aqueous-only workflows — buffer-based protein assays, cell lysate measurements, DNA intercalation studies — the precision-glued Standard 80 bond is fully adequate and substantially less expensive. The >80% transmittance across 190–2500 nm delivers clean fluorescence baselines for biological samples, and the four polished optical faces provide exactly the same 90° measurement geometry as higher-tier cells. Reserve Sintered 83 or Molded 83 for work involving organic solvents, concentrated acids, or applications demanding the tightest cell-to-cell tolerances. Important: the adhesive joints are designed for aqueous samples only (water, buffers, dilute salt solutions).

Why Micro Volume?

Internal quartz masking walls narrow the measurement chamber to 4 mm while maintaining the full 10 mm optical path (Beer–Lambert law: A = εlc). This saves 60% of sample compared to a standard 3.5 ml cuvette, making it practical for precious biological samples and expensive fluorescent reagents. The micro volume design keeps the sample at full column height — compatible with all spectrophotometer beam heights (8.5 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm) without verification.

Usage Tips: Handle by the top rim only — all four optical faces must remain free of fingerprints. Rinse immediately after use with an appropriate solvent. Standard 80 adhesive bonds are suitable for aqueous samples only (water, buffers, dilute salt solutions). Do not use with organic solvents, strong acids, or strong bases. For organic or corrosive solvents, upgrade to Sintered 83 or Molded 83. Compatible with Shimadzu, Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, JASCO, Horiba, Edinburgh Instruments, and most commercial fluorimeters and UV-Vis spectrophotometers.
