Micro Cuvette with Frosty Walls and Lid

The Micro Cuvette with Frosty Walls and Lid is a precision-engineered optical vessel designed specifically for laboratories working with small sample volumes. This high-quality cuvette combines functionality, efficiency, and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for research environments where sample conservation, measurement accuracy, and instrument compatibility are top priorities.

Designed for micro-volume applications, this cuvette allows you to perform accurate and reproducible measurements without sacrificing valuable or limited samples. It is especially useful in molecular biology, pharmaceutical testing, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring where sample availability may be minimal.

Customizable Path Width & Compact Volume

One of the key advantages of this cuvette lies in its design flexibility. The micro frosted cuvette has different dimensions in path width, or even the path width can be customised. This product is able to save your solvent. With a reduced internal volume and the ability to select or customize the optical path width, this cuvette enables researchers to significantly reduce reagent consumption while maintaining reliable analytical performance.

Standard path widths can range from 1 mm to 10 mm, allowing users to match the cuvette to their specific spectrophotometer requirements and sensitivity needs. For highly specialized applications, custom path widths can be manufactured on request—making this cuvette a highly adaptable tool in any advanced laboratory.

High-Quality Materials for Optical Clarity

Constructed from optical-grade quartz or high-grade optical glass, the micro cuvette offers excellent transmission across UV, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths. Quartz versions are ideal for UV applications (below 300 nm), while optical glass is suitable for visible-range analysis.

The cuvette features two frosted side walls and two optically clear sides, ensuring optimal light transmission for accurate absorbance or fluorescence readings while allowing easy manual handling. The frosted surfaces also reduce stray light and reflections, minimizing interference and improving measurement consistency.

Secure Lid for Sample Protection

Each cuvette is equipped with a secure-fitting lid, providing important protection for sensitive micro-volume samples. The lid helps to prevent contamination, evaporation, and exposure to air—particularly valuable when working with volatile solvents, reactive chemicals, or biological samples that are susceptible to degradation.

The lid also allows for safer handling and transport of samples within the lab, reducing the risk of spills or sample loss, especially when working with delicate microfluidic assays or limited sample quantities.

Applications

The Micro Cuvette with Frosty Walls and Lid is a versatile tool used in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, including:

• UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy

• Fluorescence analysis

• Enzyme kinetics studies

• Protein and nucleic acid quantification

• Molecular biology assays

• Clinical and pharmaceutical testing

• Environmental and trace contaminant analysis

Its compact design and customizable features make it a preferred choice for experiments where high sensitivity and sample economy are crucial.

Compatibility and Ease of Use

This cuvette is compatible with most standard and specialized micro-volume spectrophotometers and fluorometers. The frosted sides make it easy to grip and handle without leaving fingerprints on the optical surfaces, which could otherwise affect measurement accuracy.

For best performance, always clean the cuvette using compatible solvents and handle with lint-free gloves. Its durable construction allows for repeated use with proper care, offering excellent value over time.
