Usage and Care Guidelines
Handling and Installation
- Always handle cuvettes with clean gloves to prevent fingerprints and contamination on optical surfaces.
- When connecting gas lines, avoid over-tightening fittings which may cause stress fractures. Use torque specifications provided with your specific model.
- Install with proper support along the cell body to avoid cantilever stress that may lead to breakage.
- When using in optical setups, ensure proper alignment to minimize strain on mounting points.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Clean optical surfaces with high-purity acetone, methanol, or specialized optical cleaning solutions followed by filtered compressed air drying.
- For persistent contamination, use 2% solution of laboratory-grade detergent followed by thorough rinsing with deionized water.
- Periodically check gas connections for leaks using appropriate leak detection methods for your application.
- If used with corrosive gases, flush with inert gas after each use to prevent internal surface degradation.
Operational Considerations
- Maintain pressure within specified limits (typically ±1 bar from atmospheric for standard cells). For high-pressure applications, use specially designed cells.
- For temperature-controlled applications, implement gradual heating/cooling (max 5°C/min) to prevent thermal shock.
- When using UV light sources, monitor for potential solarization effects in long-term applications.
- If mechanical vibration is present in your setup, use dampening mounts to protect the cell from stress fractures.
Storage and Transportation
- Store in original packaging or dedicated container with appropriate cushioning to prevent physical damage.
- Maintain in a clean, dry environment away from chemicals that could damage or contaminate the cuvette.
- For sealed gas cells, verify pressure conditions before long-term storage or transportation to prevent stress on seals.
- Label with handling instructions if transferring between laboratory teams or shipping to collaborators.

FAQ
Q: What makes Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes suitable for fluorescence-based gas analysis?
A: Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes are designed with sealed or semi-sealed chambers and extended inlet/outlet tubes, allowing precise control of gas flow. Their high UV transparency (≥90% at 200nm) ensures accurate excitation of gas-phase molecules. The low background fluorescence of high-purity quartz minimizes signal interference. These features are essential for sensitive fluorescence detection.
Q: How do Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes minimize background fluorescence in LIF experiments?
A: TOQUARTZ® uses ultra-pure quartz (≥99.995% SiO₂) with minimal trace metal content to reduce autofluorescence. The material is thermally annealed and optically polished to eliminate internal defects. This ensures a clean optical path for laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics. As a result, signal-to-noise ratios are significantly improved.
Q: How do Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes handle low-concentration gas samples?
A: Our cuvettes feature micro-volume chambers with minimal dead space, enhancing sensitivity for trace gas detection. This is critical in applications like breath biomarker analysis or environmental VOC monitoring. The sealed design prevents sample dilution or contamination. Combined with high optical clarity, this enables ppb-level detection.
Q: How do Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes maintain optical alignment during use?
A: Each cuvette is manufactured with optical window flatness <λ/10 and parallelism <0.02mm. This ensures minimal beam distortion and consistent fluorescence excitation. The rigid quartz structure resists deformation under pressure or heat. These properties are essential for high-resolution fluorescence imaging.
Q: Are Quartz Atomic Gas Cell Cuvettes suitable for multi-gas fluorescence analysis?
A: Yes, multi-port designs are available for simultaneous or sequential gas introduction. This is useful in reaction kinetics studies or gas mixing experiments. The cuvettes maintain optical clarity across multiple gas cycles. TOQUARTZ® supports custom chamber geometries for complex fluorescence workflows.
