Working with very low amount of samples?
The UVette is a disposable UV/Vis cuvette with a light transmission of 220 nm to 1,600 nm for spectrophotometer and photometers. As an example of Eppendorf’s expertise in the production of high quality consumables, the UVette offers superb purity, convenience and precision for photometric analysis. The unique shape of the UVette combines two optical light path lengths to offer greater flexibility.
The Eppendorf UVette allows for measurements in the UV/Vis range with transparency from 220 nm to 1,600 nm with just a typical minimum volume of 50 µL. The UVette allows the user to choose between two optical path lengths (10 mm and 2 mm). The path length can be reduced by a factor of x5 without diluting or wasting any sample – simply by turning the UVette 90°. The UVette is suitable for fluorescence assays due to its low auto-fluorescence. The PCR-clean and protein-free individually sealed variant is ideal for accurate nucleic acid and protein quantification. The UVette is ideally matched for use with the Eppendorf BioPhotometer and Eppendorf BioSpectrometer families. The UVette can be used in other spectrophotometers with the aid of an adapter.
The UVettes are manufactured from crystal clear plastic, which is UV/Vis transparent and features translucency between 220 nm and 1,600 nm. The openly accessible side walls allow for a visual check of the liquid inside the UVette from all sides. This enables the user to detect air bubbles, for example, which may alter the test result.
