Understanding Cuvette Volume, Material, Path Length etc.

Understanding Cuvette Volume, Material, Path Length etc. A spectrophotometer is an ideal choice for measuring materials of interest light absorbance or transmittance to a specific spectrum wavelength, in this way to get data on substance concentration and purity. A cuvette is a small vessel containing samples used for spectroscopic measurements which are placed in the spectrophotometers. Cuvettes are made of various sizes, volumes, and materials, and should be transparent for the targeted wavelength range. Types of Cuvettes For the photometric measurements of...

Vis Cuvette Selection (not UV)

Vis Cuvette Selection (not UV) The first factor to consider when performing spectroscopy measurements is to know the range of spectrum in which you work. The selection of cuvette material is based on this range, and if you are on a tight budget, this will help to save you a lot.  To begin with, “VIS” is short for “visible” which means the visible light spectral range. The visible light spectrum is the electromagnetic spectrum portion that the human eye can see....
