Ink Formulation Absorbance Testing with Flat-Window Quartz Flow Through Cuvette Transparent Sample Cell
Key Advantages
-
Flat-window baseline stability
— Baseline noise ≤0.002 AU across 200–800 nm at 1.0 mL/min reduces color drift during in-line checks. -
Fast rinse, low carryover
— Three 5 mL IPA rinses leave residual absorbance <0.2% at 600 nm, cutting changeover time by ~40%. -
Micro-volume color decision
— 120 µL chamber enables ΔE* decisions with ≈88% less ink than 1 mL cells.
TOQUARTZ® solution
A packaging printer running 12-color flexo reported unstable baselines and long rinses using curved cells. After switching to the TOQUARTZ Flat-Window Quartz Flow Through Cuvette Transparent Sample Cell, baseline noise dropped from 0.006 AU to 0.002 AU and average tone changeover fell from 5 min to 3 min. Ink use per test decreased from ~1.0 mL to 0.12 mL, saving ~0.9 mL per run. Over ~250 checks/day this saved ~225 mL/day and reduced weekly rework by 28%, improving line uptime.
