Understanding Cuvette Path Length Types of Cuvette Materials Cuvette Chemical Resistance Understanding Cuvette Volumes What is the Cuvette Z dimension, Exactly? Cuvette Caps Introduction Any material that is transparent to the required wavelengths can be used to make a cuvette. And a wide selection […]
Let’s begin by considering the following scenario for a moment: It’s time to start a new lab job. New methods, new coworkers, new equipment, and, most importantly, new glass cuvettes! But wait, these cells aren’t labeled… Is this a quartz cuvette or a glass material? We receive calls like this all the time from individuals […]
Are you obtaining any unusual results from your experiments? Continue reading to learn about some potential reasons and remedies. When working with a quartz cuvette, there are a lot of things to consider. The cells can sometimes provide odd readings that make no sense. There might be several causes for this. We’ll go through some […]
The absorbance measurement of a nucleic acid solution at only four wavelengths is sufficient to determine its concentration and to obtain an insight into its purity. Image source: DRogatnev/shutterstock.com Nucleic acids are isolated from sample material such as cells and subsequently employed in further laboratory experiments. For this purpose, it is advisable to determine the […]
Quantification of nucleic acids and proteins is routinely performed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry; however, on occasion, detection via fluorescence may prove to be more favorable. In this case, molecules are not detected through absorbance, but they are detected in an indirect fashion – via the signal of a fluorescent dye. Not only does fluorescence offer a […]
The world of cuvettes may be a vast and complicated place. How do you determine which spectrophotometer to buy when there are so many on the market and so many varied cuvette manufacturers? The good news is that we’re going to make your life a lot simpler for you. We’ve put up a list of […]
