Selection guide

Find the right cuvette in three steps

Start from what you know: the path length your method calls for, the sample volume you have, or the wavelength range of your measurement.

By path length

10 mm is the standard for most UV/Vis methods; shorter paths keep concentrated samples in the linear range.

By sample volume

Match the cell to what you actually have. Micro and ultra-micro cells hold a full path length with microliters of sample.

By wavelength range

Quartz SUPRASIL® (QS) covers the full UV/Vis range. Optical glass is a cost-effective choice for visible-only work.
