Microfluidic Cells & Cuvettes  for Fluorescence, Absorbance, Microscopy and Immuno Assays

Fluorvettes for fluorescence
Specvettes for short path Absorbance




FluoroVettes are UV-transparent, micro-volume disposable cuvettes for nanomolar-range fluorescence analysis. Fluorovettes work equally well for absorbance of highly absorbaning samples such as DNA, RNA, or proteins.

FluoroVettes have  50 mL contained volume, transmit UV light to 220 nm, and are available in versions designed for loading the sample with a pipetter or for connecting to a pump for flow studies. A special universal adapter makes FluoroVettes useable with our standard cuvette holders
.

For the same cost as a single quartz cuvette, you can get this many fluorovettes.
 
Disposable, low volume and very easy to use!

Just load your sample, slide it into the adpater and read it in your spectrophotometer.




Fluorovettes are made with laser lithography for preside and flexible manufacturing. In fact, we can custome design your fluorovettes for virtually any micro-fluidic application. Call us to discuss your needs!

Try & Buy! 
Buy a starter set of fluorovettes with an adapater. try them for two weeks. If you find they don't meet your needs, well give you a full refund!


Starter Sets -- Include fluorovettes and an adapter for a 1 cm cuvette holder. If you want to measure absorbance, you'll need to buy our 4 way viewing adapter AD015-360.

FPA10 -- Pipettor Interface Style fluorovettes (10 each) + adapter for 1cm x 1cm cuvette. Illumination & read at 90 degrees, 59 ul sample size, 15mm "z" height, 0.75mm optical path.       FPA10   $150.00

FLA05 -- Flowcell style fluorovette 1/16" hose barbs (5 each) + adapter for 1cm x 1cm cuvette holder. If you want to measure absorbance you'll need to buy the AD015-360 adapter.   FLA05    $125.00

Volume Pricing -- Cross containation and labor to clean cuvettes are very costly. Fluorovettes are designed for use as disposables.

Specvettes:



·    Short path low volume precision cuvettes, an economical alternative to quartz cuvettes

·    Short paths” 250, 500 and 1000 um

·    Low volumes, 25, 50 and 100 ul

·    Low cost – disposable

·    Precise – no parallax as found in molded cuvettes. Path length is accurate to +/- 1%

·    Dual chambers! Each specvette is really two cuvettes in one. Use the second chamber for a second sample, a blank or a reference.

·    UV transparent down to 220nm

·    Easy to fill pipette tip shaped port, just add your sample directly from your pipettor.

·    Flat form factor is ideal for use in microscopes.
