Pharmaceutical Analysis
In the pharmaceutical industry, quartz cuvettes are used for the quantitative analysis of drug components to ensure that drug concentrations and purity meet established standards, as well as for conducting drug stability tests.
The high light transmittance of quartz cylindrical cuvettes in the ultraviolet region is essential for experiments requiring precise measurements in this wavelength range. Many biomolecules and chemical substances have characteristic absorptions in the ultraviolet region, which are crucial for their quantitative analysis and identification.
When using quartz cuvettes, avoid touching the optical surfaces to prevent contamination. Thoroughly clean and properly store them before and after use to maintain their performance. Also, because quartz material is fragile, handle with care to prevent damage.
When cleaning quartz cuvettes, gently wipe with a mild detergent and a soft cloth, avoiding hard brushes or abrasives that could scratch the surface. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and air-dry or wipe with a lint-free cloth. For long-term storage, store them in a suitable cuvette box, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments to extend their lifespan.

Frequently asked questions
Quartz glass is a hard and brittle material with excellent physical and chemical properties, extremely high mechanical hardness, good electrical insulation, high temperature and corrosion resistance, low and stable delay performance, good light transmittance, etc. It is widely used in semiconductors, optics, electricity, chemistry, aerospace, automobiles and other fields. Hard and brittle materials are difficult to process, and many fields urgently need cutting processes with small edge collapse, less material loss, low cross-section roughness, and a wide cutting thickness range. The traditional cutting method of quartz glass is mechanical cutting, that is, wheel cutting. Non-traditional cutting methods include water jet cutting, electrochemical discharge wire cutting, continuous laser cutting, etc. Mechanical cutting has low cost, but the contact between the wheel and the material causes large tool wear, and the material is easily contaminated by the tool. Quartz glass is prone to edge collapse, microcracks, and residual stress, which affects the strength and performance of the material! It is difficult to achieve curve cutting and requires post-processing, such as grinding and polishing. Laser cutting does not directly contact the material, has no contact stress, and can perform complex curve cutting. Picosecond laser has the advantages of small spot diameter, high precision, short action time with the material, and small action area, and is suitable for the processing of hard and brittle materials.
