TOQUARTZ® Solving Application Challenges with Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors
UV Absorbance Testing in Beverage Quality Control with Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors
Key Advantages
-
Polished channel Ra ≤ 10 nm
— Low-scatter interior reduces baseline noise in CO₂-rich matrices at 430 nm. -
Micro-path 0.2 mm option
— Keeps absorbance within detector linear range (<1.5 AU) for dark beverages without dilution. -
CIP durability pH 2–12, 60–80 °C
— After 100 cleaning cycles, transmittance change ≤ 0.2% across 200–800 nm.
TOQUARTZ® solution
A bottling line reported unstable UV baselines during inline color checks due to CO₂ bubbles and repeated hot-alkaline wash. After switching to the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors (0.2 mm path), baseline noise at 430 nm fell to ≤ 0.002 AU and color checks stayed <±1% variance over a 10-hour shift. Post-CIP optical drift measured ≤ 0.2% across 200–800 nm, eliminating mid-shift recalibration. Weekly unplanned stops for re-zeroing dropped from three to zero, stabilizing QA release times.
Trace Metal Analysis in Environmental Laboratories with Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors
Key Advantages
-
Acid-matrix compatible (2–5% HNO₃/H₂SO₄)
— No visible attack at 25–60 °C during continuous flow testing. -
Ultralow leaching (<1 ppb total alkali metals)
— Quartz channel background below ICP-MS detection after 24 h acid soak. -
Baseline drift ≤ 0.001 AU/60 min (220–240 nm)
— Stable blanks for low-µg/L analyte detection.
TOQUARTZ® solution
A river-monitoring lab saw blank drift ~0.006 AU at 230 nm using polymer cells in 2% HNO₃. With the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors, drift decreased to ≤ 0.001 AU over 60 min and total leachable Na/K/Ca remained <1 ppb. Spike-recoveries for Pb²⁺ at 10 µg/L improved from 89% to 98%, and replicate RSD at low levels dropped from 6.5% to 2.1%. Routine acid exposure no longer degraded the optical path, extending service intervals.
Optical Density Control in Algae Cultivation Systems with Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors
Key Advantages
-
Extended OD range (600 nm)
— Micro-path 0.2–1.0 mm maintains linearity up to OD₆₀₀ ≈ 4.0 without dilution. -
Thermal cycling 20–80 °C × 500
— No haze formation; ΔT (200–800 nm) ≤ 0.2% after cycling. -
Fouling-resilient cleaning
— Compatible with 0.5–1.0 M NaOH and 0.2% peracetic acid; transmittance deviation ≤ 0.3%.
TOQUARTZ® solution
A 200 L photobioreactor ran daily OD₆₀₀ control but plastic flow cells clouded within two weeks, forcing frequent replacements. After adopting the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors (0.5 mm path), OD baseline drift fell from ~0.05 to ≤ 0.01, and calibration frequency moved from daily to weekly. Post-cleaning spectra stayed within ≤ 0.3% deviation, and replacement spend dropped by ~40% over a quarter. Continuous monitoring remained stable during rapid biomass ramps and temperature swings.

FAQ
Q: How does the transparent wall design of the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors improve measurement accuracy?
A: The transparent walls minimize stray light and scattering, which directly improves signal-to-noise ratios in spectroscopy. This feature ensures accurate UV–VIS absorbance measurements across flowing samples. It also reduces background interference in fluorescence detection compared to standard glass cells.
Q: Can the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors withstand repeated cleaning cycles with strong solvents?
A: Yes, the fused quartz material maintains structural and optical integrity even after exposure to organic solvents and acid-based cleaners. The M5 threaded connectors provide leak-free stability during repeated assembly and disassembly. This durability supports long-term use in industrial quality control processes.
Q: Why are M5 threaded connectors important for the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors?
A: M5 threaded connectors ensure secure and repeatable attachment to tubing and pump-driven systems. This prevents leakage under continuous flow conditions where stable pressure is required. It also allows easy replacement without damaging the quartz body of the cell.
Q: What challenges does the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors solve in continuous flow analysis?
A: Continuous flow setups often experience bubble formation and inconsistent path stability. The flow channel design in this quartz cell reduces bubble entrapment and provides a consistent optical path. Combined with threaded sealing, it ensures reliable absorbance results during long measurement cycles.
Q: How does the Transparent Quartz Flow Cell with M5 Threaded Connectors support low-concentration sample detection?
A: The transparent channel provides a clear optical path with minimal absorbance deviation. This allows accurate detection of analytes at µg/L levels, such as trace metals in water testing. The leak-free threaded design prevents sample contamination during long runs.
