Quartz 10mm Round-Bottom Fluorescence Flow Cuvette, 3.5ml, Molded 83, Four-Way Light, PTFE Valve, 1pc/ea, C104WE
Description
The C104WE is a quartz round-bottom fluorescence flow cuvette with 10mm path length and four-way light optical configuration — all four vertical faces are polished to optical grade, enabling both standard UV-Vis absorbance and 90° fluorescence detection. With a 3.5ml internal volume (10 × 10 × 43 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Molded 83 (>83% transmittance) — precision-molded from a single piece of quartz, eliminating adhesive joints entirely. Equipped with an integrated PTFE stopcock valve for precise flow control during liquid introduction and drainage. Features a T-shaped flow cell with round-bottom chamber, dual PTFE-sealed ports, and a vertical glass tube inlet. The multi-port configuration enables simultaneous flow and degassing during fluorescence measurements.

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 Molded 83?
Molded 83 uses monolithic fused-quartz construction — no adhesive joints — delivering >83% UV transmittance from 200–2500 nm. Because there are no glue seams, the cell withstands all common laboratory solvents, concentrated acids, and bases (avoid HF). This fabrication is ideal for demanding analytical workflows where chemical resistance, long service life, and maximum optical clarity are priorities.
Why a PTFE Valve?
The integrated PTFE stopcock valve provides precise flow control for liquid introduction and drainage. PTFE is chemically inert and compatible with strong acids, bases, and most organic solvents, ensuring zero contamination or leaching during flow-through measurements. The valve allows controlled sample exchange without removing the cuvette from the instrument, enabling continuous-flow kinetics, titration experiments, and automated sample delivery workflows.
- 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.
