TOQUARTZ® solution
A biomedical lab in Boston reported inconsistent protein quantification due to 2-window cuvettes requiring repositioning, leading to 27% data variability. After switching to TOQUARTZ 6-sided cuvettes, they achieved full 3-axis detection in one run, reducing analysis time by 42% and improving data consistency by 31%. The lab now uses a single cuvette per assay, cutting per-sample cost by 18% and eliminating cross-contamination risk. This upgrade enabled them to meet NIH reproducibility standards for multi-angle fluorescence assays.

FAQ
Q: What are the main advantages of a 6-sided quartz cuvette compared to standard 2 or 4-window cuvettes?
A: 6-sided quartz cuvettes provide optical access from all three orthogonal axes, enabling simultaneous multi-angle detection capabilities. This allows for concurrent absorbance, fluorescence, and scattering measurements on the same sample, reducing analysis time and improving data correlation. These cuvettes are particularly valuable for applications requiring multiple detection modes or complex optical configurations.
Q: What is the UV transmission range of your 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes?
A: TOQUARTZ® 6-sided UV quartz flow cuvettes offer excellent transmission from 200nm to 2500nm, with no absorption peaks within this range. The high-purity fused quartz material (≥99.995% SiO₂) ensures superior UV transparency compared to standard optical glass, making these cuvettes ideal for UV-Vis spectroscopy applications including DNA/RNA analysis, protein quantification, and UV-active compound detection.
Q: Can you customize the optical path length of the 6-sided quartz flow cuvette?
A: Yes, TOQUARTZ® offers customized optical path lengths ranging from 0.5mm to 100mm for our 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes. Custom path lengths are particularly useful for samples with high or low absorption coefficients, allowing for optimal sensitivity within your instrument’s detection range. We maintain tight tolerances of ±0.1mm on all custom path lengths to ensure measurement accuracy and reproducibility.
Q: Can you provide 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes with fluid connection ports?
A: Yes, we can customize our 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes with various fluid connection ports, including standard threaded fittings, barbed connectors, or specialized adapters. These flow-through designs are ideal for continuous monitoring applications, automated analysis systems, or any setup requiring continuous sample exchange. We can integrate ports at various positions to optimize flow patterns while maintaining optical clarity at all six measurement windows.
Q: What is the temperature range for 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes?
A: TOQUARTZ® 6-sided quartz flow cuvettes can withstand temperatures from -50°C to 1100°C, making them suitable for a wide range of thermal applications. The high-purity fused quartz material features a very low thermal expansion coefficient (5.5×10⁻⁷ /°C), providing excellent dimensional stability during temperature changes. For extreme temperature applications, we recommend gradual heating/cooling to prevent thermal shock and specialized designs to accommodate thermal expansion.
