TOQUARTZ® Solving Challenges in Fluorescence Spectroscopy Analysis with Quartz fluorescence cuvette with lids
Quartz Fluorescence Cuvette with Lid for DNA/RNA Analysis
Key Advantages
-
Ultra-tight path length tolerance (±0.05mm)
Ensures consistent excitation volume across replicates, reducing CV to <2% in qPCR assays. -
Low-volume compatibility down to 100μL
Minimizes reagent use while maintaining fluorescence signal integrity in micro-assays. -
Four-side optical window alignment
Enables dual-axis excitation/emission for high-sensitivity nucleic acid quantification.
TOQUARTZ® solution
A genomics lab in Boston reported 8–12% signal deviation using generic cuvettes in DNA quantification. After switching to TOQUARTZ® cuvettes with ±0.05mm tolerance and 100μL compatibility, their inter-replicate CV dropped to 1.6%, improving qPCR reproducibility and reducing reagent waste by 35%. The lab now uses TOQUARTZ cuvettes as standard for all nucleic acid fluorescence workflows.
Quartz Fluorescence Cuvette with Lid for Protein Analysis

TOQUARTZ® solution
A German biotech firm faced 6% protein concentration drift in 12-hour fluorescence kinetics using open-top cuvettes. TOQUARTZ® sealed cuvettes reduced evaporation to <0.5%, maintaining sample integrity throughout the assay. With black-masked sides, background noise dropped by 18%, enabling detection of 0.2μg/mL BSA with 98% accuracy. This allowed the firm to validate protein stability protocols previously deemed unreliable.

Usage and Care Guidelines
Handling Instructions
-
Always handle with gloves:
Fingerprints can affect optical performance and measurement accuracy. -
Hold by non-optical surfaces:
Avoid touching the clear optical windows to prevent contamination. -
Secure lid properly:
Ensure the PTFE lid is securely in place to prevent evaporation and contamination. -
Avoid rapid temperature changes:
Gradual temperature transitions prevent thermal stress and potential damage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
-
Clean immediately after use:
Prevents sample residue from drying and becoming difficult to remove. -
Use appropriate solvents:
Start with mild detergents, followed by distilled water. Use acetone or ethanol for stubborn residues. -
Air dry or use lint-free cloth:
Never use abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the optical surfaces. -
Store in protective case:
When not in use, store cuvettes in their original packaging or a dedicated dust-free container.
Tips for Optimal Measurements
- Ensure cuvette is properly oriented in the instrument with optical windows facing the light path.
- Allow samples to reach room temperature before measurement to prevent condensation.
- Use the same cuvette for all measurements in a series to maintain consistency.
- Avoid air bubbles by gently tapping the cuvette before measurement.
- Fill to the appropriate volume - usually 80-90% of capacity is optimal.
- Establish a baseline with the same buffer or solvent used in your samples.
