As
it is a known fact that Cuvettes are used by the researchers is the
laboratories for different experiments and the materials used in the Cuvettes
may not be the same. In the same way buying UV VIS Cuvettes is not so
easy. Following the points provided here
you can go for a Cuvette of your choice.
Cuvette Material: Cuvette material is the
most important part to be considered while buying a UV VIS measurement as
various types of materials may be used whole assembling Cuvettes. The four best
Cuvette materials are as follows UV quartz, IR quartz, Sapphire and optical
Glass or Pyrex glass. All the four
materials are best in their nature and it purely depends on the applications
based on which the materials are Chosen.

Optical Glass Cuvette: The cheapest and will be
helpful when you are running out of money. Optical glass functions nicely with VIS
range and maintain 340-2500 mm transmission range. Optical glass is used for number of
applications and you need not use other materials which contains additional UV
range.
UV Quartz: UV quartz is bit expensive compared
to optical glass and exhibits transmission to an extended range between190-2500
mm. You can use only UV quartz Cuvettes forUV experiments. Going for cheaper Cuvettes will not serve the purpose in UV
experiments and the result will not be up to the mark.
IR Quartz: IR quartz is best advisable for UV
VIS measurements maintaining a range of 220-3500 mm which is useful in IR.
Sapphire is a hard material which is damage
resistant and scratch resistant and most expensive material among the four
materials and has a wide range of 250-5000 mm and can be used in all
applications.
Spectrophotometer Cuvettes: Fluorescence Cuvettes
contains four windows which are parallel and gets fitted in the UV quartz.
These are less expensive and better than spectrophotometer.
When
your demands are not met by the above Cuvettes then you need not worry or panic
at all as the manufacturers will produce Cuvettes as per your requirements. By
stating the specifications required the Cuvettes needed will be manufactured by
the manufacturers.
By
going through the given information, the best Cuvette can be selected as per
the choice and need for experiments.
