Cleaning cuvettes

If you use a spectrophotometer, you already understand the significance of pristine cuvettes. A cuvette is a small storage vessel, or container, made from glass or plastic that holds the liquid for testing. It then enters the spectrophotometer, where light is shined through it. The reagent and photons will not pass through properly when the cuvette is dirty and you will never get the correct readings of your outcomes. 

  1. Start with a Rinse 

Before cleaning your cuvette, it's always best to wash it thoroughly with distilled water. This rinse removes any remaining residual liquid from the previous sample. To do this, fill the disposable cuvettes with distilled water with a pipette or a syringe, and then pouring it out. Rinsing first ensures you are beginning fresh and will not have any lingering samples mixed into your next readings.

Steps for Thoroughly Cleaning Cuvettes for Optimal Performance

  1. Use the Proper Cleaning Solution

Prepare a cleaning solutionThat cleaners depend on the type of cuvette. Plastic cuvettes, for instance, can be cleaned with gentle soap or mild detergents. Glass cuvettes, conversely, are more durable and can withstand harsher cleaning agents, such as nitric acid. The instructions given by the manufacturer must be checked and followed at all times. This will make sure you are using the appropriate cleaning solution that is compatible with your specific round cuvettes material? 

  1. Be Gentle 

A cuvette is a delicate piece of equipment that you need to handle carefully. When you clean them, be gentle and scrubs not too hard, and don't use rough things like steel wool that can scratch. You would also be well advised not to touch the inside of the  Jinke Optical cuvette with your fingers. Your fingers have oils that can distort the readings and your experiments.
