Usage Guide of Quartz UV Cuvette for Automated Biochemical Analyzer
Handling & Storage
- Always handle cuvettes with powder-free gloves to prevent fingerprints and contamination.
- Store in original packaging or dust-free containers when not in use.
- Avoid contact with hard surfaces that may scratch optical faces.
- Store in a dry environment (humidity <60%) to prevent contamination.
Installation
- Inspect for any defects or damage before installation.
- Verify correct orientation according to analyzer specifications.
- Ensure optical faces are perpendicular to the light path.
- Follow analyzer manufacturer's installation protocol for optimal results.
Cleaning & Maintenance
- Clean with mild laboratory detergent (pH 7-8) followed by thorough rinsing with deionized water.
- For stubborn residues, soak in 5% HCl or 5% HNO₃ for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Dry with clean, oil-free compressed air or nitrogen.

FAQ
Q: What is a quartz cuvette used for in biochemical analysis?
A: Quartz cuvettes are used in biochemical analyzers to hold liquid samples for spectrophotometric analysis. They allow UV and visible light to pass through the sample with minimal absorption or interference, enabling accurate measurement of analyte concentrations in blood, serum, urine, and other biological fluids. Unlike glass cuvettes, quartz cuvettes can transmit UV light down to 190nm, which is essential for measuring proteins, nucleic acids, and many clinical biochemical markers.
Q: Can quartz cuvettes be used in automated analyzers?
A: Yes, TOQUARTZ® quartz cuvettes are specifically designed for automated biochemical analyzers. They feature precise dimensions (±0.1mm tolerance) that ensure proper fit and alignment in automated sample handling systems. The optical clarity and consistent wall thickness provide reliable measurement results in high-throughput settings. Our cuvettes are compatible with major analyzer brands and can be customized to meet specific instrument requirements.
Q: How do I clean a quartz cuvette used in a biochemical analyzer?
A: For routine cleaning, rinse the cuvette with deionized water immediately after use, followed by a mild laboratory detergent wash (pH 7-8), and thorough rinsing with deionized water again. For stubborn residues or protein buildup, soak in 5% HCl or 5% HNO₃ for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Dry with clean, oil-free compressed air or nitrogen. Avoid abrasive materials or tissues that may scratch optical surfaces. For automated systems, follow the analyzer manufacturer’s recommended cleaning protocol.
Q: What wavelength range does a quartz cuvette for automated biochemical analyzers support?
A: TOQUARTZ® high-purity quartz cuvettes support a wide spectral range from 200nm to 2500nm. They provide excellent transmission in both the ultraviolet (200-380nm) and visible (380-750nm) regions, with transmittance ≥85% at 190-250nm. Unlike glass cuvettes that absorb UV light below 320nm, quartz cuvettes allow for accurate UV analysis crucial for many biochemical applications. This broad wavelength compatibility makes them ideal for comprehensive spectrophotometric analysis in clinical chemistry.
Q: What should I look for when selecting a quartz cuvette for my analyzer?
A: Key factors include:
1) Dimensional accuracy – ensure precise fit for your specific analyzer model;
2) Material purity – higher purity (≥99.995% SiO₂) provides better UV transmission and fewer interference issues;
3) Surface quality – look for polished, bubble-free surfaces for optimal optical clarity;
4) Manufacturing precision – consistent wall thickness (±0.1mm) ensures reliable results;
5) Compatibility verification – confirm the cuvette is compatible with your analyzer’s sample handling system and optical path requirements.
