Description
Flow-through cuvette type 170-QS is a precision optical cell manufactured from high performance quartz glass for spectrophotometric work across the 200 nm to 2500 nm wavelength range. It offers a path length of 1 mm, an aperture of 17,5 × 6,5 mm, a centre height of 8,5–15 mm, integrated inlet and outlet ports, and a sample volume of 120 µl. Hellma precision cuvettes are produced entirely in Germany and fit all common spectrophotometers. Outstanding path-length accuracy and parallelism ensure continuously reproducible results. The cells are thermally bonded rather than glued, giving high resistance to temperature and chemicals and preventing leakage. Selected high-performance quartz glasses deliver transmission greater than 82 % for exact measurements. Bevelled edges support safe, comfortable handling and reduce chipping risk. The cuvettes can be cleaned and reused repeatedly, providing a sustainable laboratory solution. Manufacture follows EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001, meeting the highest optical standards.

Questions about flow-through cells, 170
What is this article?
flow-through cells, 170 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hellma (IDL) for laboratory use. It sits in Cuvettes, in Labware.
A cuvette is an optical cell. The spectrophotometer or photometer sends a beam through a defined path length, usually 10 mm, and the absorbance is read from that path. Glass is for the visible range. Quartz or a UV-grade plastic is required below about 320 nm, because ordinary glass absorbs there. The path length and the wavelength window are the two numbers that choose the cell. The optical methods that use it sit with NIST and the BIPM. Laboratory ware is indexed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
