Cuvette Sample Holder
Specifications:
The cuvette sample holder provides a stable and secure platform for placing cuvettes during fluorescence spectroscopy experiments. It ensures that the cuvette remains stationary throughout the measurement process, minimizing vibrations and fluctuations that could affect the accuracy of the results.
The sample holder is designed to align the cuvette in the correct orientation relative to the excitation and emission light paths of the fluorescence spectrophotometer or fluorometer. Proper alignment ensures that the excitation light beam passes through the sample and that the emitted fluorescence is detected accurately by the instrument.
Maintenance and replacement:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the cuvette sample holder to prevent residue buildup that can interfere with measurements.
- Regularly inspect the holder for contaminants like dust or fingerprints. Even small particles or smudges can alter the path of light and affect readings.
- When securing the cuvette in place, avoid over-tightening as it could damage both the holder and the cuvette.
- Physical Damage: If the sample holder shows visible cracks, scratches, or signs of damage, it should be replaced. Any physical imperfection can scatter light or cause inconsistent measurements.
-
Corrosion or Rust: If metal parts of the holder show signs of rust or corrosion, particularly in humid environments or when used with corrosive substances, it is best to replace it.
