Cuvette for uv vis spectrophotometer

A cuvette is primarily designed to allow light to pass transparently through the sample. This is completely crucial since the light enables scientists to measure several characteristics of the material they are investigating. It is important that the cuvette is made of the correct material, as the measurements must be accurate. Cuvettes are typically made of glass or plastic. As such, glass is often used as it is clear and non-reactive with the sample. That means that scientists can rely on the results that they get from glass cuvettes. Plastics cuvettes are less expensive and can be useful, but they might become soft or cheesy when exposed to strong chemicals or UV light. 

Cuvette sizes include 1 cm, 2 cm and 5 cm. The "path length" is the distance that the light travels through the sample - which is determined by how wide the Jinke Optical uv vis cuvettes is. Therefore the path length can affect the measurements of the light and therefore is important in choosing the appropriate sizes of your sample and the types of light you are going to use. 

Choosing the Right Cuvette for UV-Vis Spectrophotometry.

Cuvettes are available as single-use (or disposable) cuvettes and as reusable cuvettes. Disposable cuvettes are very practical for fast tests, you don’t have to clean them after use. But, they can be more costly and generate waste, and aren’t all that great for the environment. If you will be measuring samples multiple times, reusable cuvettes are usually a better choice. They can ultimately save you money, too. But you have to clean them very well after each use, to avoid dirt or residual chemicals that might skew the results. 

However, it is important to clean your cuvette at intervals, the reason behind this is that when you go out for experiments you still want to keep getting good results. Once you use it, you must wash it with distilled water or a compatible liquid with your sample. And if they tend to leave behind residual chemicals or dust, they can scratch the cuvette or absorb light or other errors in your measurements.
