VIS and UV-VIS Cuvettes

Polystyrene (VIS) and Methacrylate (UV-VIS) Cuvettes. Optically superior designs specifically for fluorimetry make this an excellent choice for nephelometry and spectrophotometry. A negligible variation in absorbance between the 4 optical sides allows readings from any side. The polystyrene cuvettes are accurate in the 340 to 750 nm visible spectral range. The methacrylate cuvettes are accurate throughout the 285 to 750 nm UV-VIS spectral range. Standard 1 cm light path.

Disposable VIS and UV-VIS cuvettes 

Cuvettes, UV-VIS Range Semi-Micro, 1.5 mL (Item 302225-0002)

Injection molded from a superior grade of methacrylate designed for accuracy throughout the VIS-UV spectral range from 300 nm to 750 nm. Excellent optical qualities throughout the spectral range make these cuvettes perfect for scanning small volumes, enzyme rate reactions, and standard curve determinations. Windows: 5 x 23 mm.

Cuvettes, Visible Range Semi-Micro, 1.5 mL (Item 302205-0002)

These exceptionally fine-quality polystyrene cuvettes are designed for assays throughout the 340 nm to 750 nm visible spectral range. A standard 1 cm light path and recessed windows provide maximum light transmission. Scale down your assay volumes to save on costly reagents using these specially designed cuvettes that have a minimum filling volume of 1.2 mL. Windows: 5 x 23 mm.

Cuvettes, Visible Range Macro, 4.5 mL (Item 302195-0002)

Designed for assays throughout the 340 nm to 750 nm visible spectral range. These specially designed cuvettes handle up to 4.5 mL total volume with a minimum filling volume of 2.5 mL and a maximum of 4.5 mL. Molded arrow indicates the direction of transmission for optimal signal and reproducibility. Windows: 10 x 35 mm   
 

DiluCell™ Disposable Cuvettes

DiluCell™ provides automatic dilution of higher concentrated samples for standard 1 cm cuvette-compatible spectrophotometers. DiluCell™ 10 allows automatic 1/10 dilutions. Combined with small sample volume requirements and bubble-free filling, the DiluCell™ allows for convenient spectrophotometric analysis from 340 – 1100 nm.

Previously it was necessary to use standard cuvettes with a volume of at least 1 ml and additionally to dilute the sample manually. DiluCell™ from Implen allows for lower sample volume requirements and provides automatic virtual sample dilution. Due to the unique design of DiluCell™ cuvettes, the light-path is reduced from the standard 10 mm to 1.0 mm (DC 10). According to the Lambert Beer Law, this shortened pathlength results in an automatic sample dilution by factor 10 (DC 10). Automatic dilution with DiluCell™ saves time and excludes dilution errors and cross contaminations.  
 

Electroporation Cuvette

These cuvettes are compatible with most electroporation systems. The cap has been designed to improve aseptic handling techniques, while the lip and positive seal reduce potential aerosol and contamination issues. Available in 1 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm gap sizes with individual color caps. Every cuvette is guaranteed sterile, packed using gamma irradiation, and has a simple tear wrapper for easy access when you need it. All 1 mm and 2 mm cuvettes have a tapered V bottom so that reduced sample volumes can be used while aiding sample pick up and minimizing dead volumes.

The Cell Projects range of HiMaX Electroporation cuvettes is designed to maximize molecular electroporation and electrofusion efficiencies for Bacteria, Yeast, Insects, Plants, and mammals. Each batch of cuvettes must undergo rigorous testing at several stages during the manufacturing process for engineering tolerances, biocompatibility, and sterility before being Quality tested for optimal and reproducible impedance measurements.

All batches are checked to optimize bio- and Transfection compatibility. Stringent use of high-quality polycarbonate and chemicals ensures consistent, uniform pulse generation and improved gene transfer.

The molding process ensures extremely high tolerances so that the electrodes have a consistent gap and parallel configuration. The electrodes are also cleaned chemically and physically to fully optimize the cuvette for high transformation efficiencies.
