Eppendorf µCuvette® G1.0, Microvolume measuring cell for Eppendorf BioPhotometer® and BioSpectrometer®
The Eppendorf µCuvette G1.0 microvolume measuring cell is a high-quality cuvette made of aluminum and quartz glass. It is the perfect tool for measuring high concentrations in small volumes. With a fixed optical path length of only 1 mm, the µCuvette G1.0 features a light path that is ten times shorter than in standard cuvettes. This allows nucleic acid and protein concentrations to be measured with high reproducibility in a much higher concentration range without prior dilution.
Due to the hydrophobic coating on the quartz glass only 1.5 µL nucleic acid or 3 µL protein sample are required for precise formation of the liquid column. Self-absorption of the µCuvette G1.0 is very low, meaning that the entire measuring range of the photometer can be used. Furthermore, 5 µL of sample solution can be used for specific fluorometric assays saving reagent.
