The first fully UV-transparent disposable cuvette has a new improved shape. With a larger optical window, open side walls and easy-to-read path length indication, the patented Eppendorf UVette is even more user-friendly and still delivers the same excellent results.
As a perfect example of Eppendorf's expertise in the production of high quality consumables, the UVette offers superb purity, convenience and precision for spectrophotometric analysis in the UV and VIS range. As well as being the ideal partner for the Eppendorf BioPhotometer plus, the UVette can be used in other photometers or spectrometers in conjunction with an adapter.
The larger optical window enhances the new UVette's compatibility with instruments from other suppliers and reduces stray light effects, while the open side wall design gives greater sample visibility. A single 90º rotation provides two optical path lengths. The easy-to-read path length indication enables users to identify quickly the correct orientation (2 mm and 10 mm) for their application.
UVettes are manufactured from crystal clear plastic which is UV and VIS-transparent between 220 nm and 1,600 nm. Pipetting can be monitored clearly, volume markings show 500 µl and 1,000 µl, while the UVette's design prevents the capillary effect, so that liquids remain in the centre of the measuring area, even minimum volumes of 50 µl. The frosted grip is convenient for labelling and the inward facing optical windows provide superior protection against scratches.
