5 - 130°C Cuvette and Vial Transmission Analyzer

The Cuvette and Vial Transmission Analyzer is a precision engineered, high throughput accessory for quantitative and qualitative analysis of liquid samples in the UV-Vis-NIR spectral region. Individual samples holders are designed to accommodate standard 10mm pathlength cuvettes as well as 5, 8, and 12mm glass vials. Each holder is pin-positioned to ensure accurate alignment and maximum reproducibility. Click on the above image for an enlarged impression. Scroll below for order details.

The temperature range of the accessory is from 5 to 130°C with +/- 0.50% accuracy. Heating and cooling is controlled with a built-in Peltier device. The Peltier element provides for reproducible ramping and for reaching target temperatures quickly and reliably at 10°C/minute. The Peltier device must be water-cooled for proper operation which can be achieved by running cold tap water through the water jacket integrated into the accessory shell or by the use of an available external liquid circulator (scroll below). The system is driven by a digital temperature controller either directly or via PC with optional software control. The software allows for easily programmed temperature profiles with unlimited ramps and unattended automatic data collection with most instrument software platforms.

The Cuvette and Vial Transmission Analyzer will fit into most NIR spectrometers including the Thermo iS5 and PerkinElmer Spectrum Two. For UV-Vis spectrophotometers, it will fit the larger Cary and Lambda spectrometers. Contact REFLEX Analytical to discuss interfacing with your instrument.
