What Factors Should Be Considered When Selecting A Cuvette?
Cuvette is also known as a sample cup. When selecting it, the following factors should be considered.
(1)Optical quality: The optical quality of the cuvette is crucial for accurate and precise measurements. The cuvette should be free from scratches, bubbles, and other defects that could interfere with light transmission.
(2)Material: cuvettes are typically made from materials such as glass, quartz, or plastic. The choice of material will depend on factors such as the wavelength of light being used, the compatibility of the material with the sample and reagents, and the cost.
(3)Path length: The path length of the cuvette is the distance between the two optical faces of the cuvette cup. The path length will affect the sensitivity of the measurement, with longer path lengths providing greater sensitivity. The choice of path length will depend on the sensitivity required for the measurement.
