Description
The C045CR is a premium quartz fluorescence cuvette with 4 mm path length and five-way light optical configuration — all four vertical faces plus the bottom window are polished to optical grade, enabling excitation and emission collection from virtually any angle. With a standard 10 ml internal volume (15 × 15 × 48 mm chamber), the cell is compatible with most commercial fluorimeters and UV-Vis spectrophotometers. Fabricated using Sintered 83 (>83% transmittance) — assembled by sintering quartz panels at approximately 600 °C, producing fused joints with no adhesive. This cuvette has an open top (no cover included).

Fluorescence Applications
◆ Steady-state & time-resolved fluorescence
◆ Fluorescence polarization & anisotropy
◆ Front-face fluorescence of turbid samples
◆ Multi-angle emission detection
◆ Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)
◆ Quantum yield determination
◆ UV-Vis absorbance (190–2500 nm)
◆ Phosphorescence & luminescence studies
Why Five-Way Light?
The five-way configuration polishes all four vertical faces plus the bottom to optical grade, providing maximum geometric flexibility for excitation and emission collection. This enables front-face fluorescence on opaque or highly concentrated samples, polarization anisotropy measurements requiring precise alignment, and bottom-read configurations used in plate-reader-adapted instruments. If your experiment only requires standard 90° fluorescence geometry, a four-way cuvette is sufficient; choose five-way when you need bottom optical access or plan to rotate the cuvette for multi-angle studies.
Why Sintered 83 Construction?
Sintered 83 cuvettes are assembled by fusing quartz panels at approximately 600 °C, producing joints that are integral to the quartz body with no adhesive. This thermal fusion process yields transmittance >83% and eliminates adhesive-related degradation pathways. The fused joints are compatible with strong acids, bases, and most organic solvents (excluding HF and aggressive organics such as toluene and acetone). For fluorescence work, the absence of adhesive also removes a potential source of background fluorescence that can contaminate emission spectra.
Usage Tips: Handle by non-optical surfaces only — fingerprints on polished faces cause scattering artifacts that raise fluorescence background. Rinse immediately after use. Sintered 83 construction is compatible with strong acids, bases, and most organic solvents (excluding HF and aggressive organics such as toluene and acetone). 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.
