In addition to quartz cuvettes, we also sell glass cuvettes, infrared cells, calibration standards for wavelength and absorbance and a full line of disposable polymer cuvettes.
Cuvette Material Specifications
All the cells Starna manufactures, unless specifically designed otherwise, are assembled using a fully fused method. This technique, pioneered and perfected by Starna, ensures that cells are fused into a single homogeneous unit by heat alone, using no intermediate adhesives.
The cells achieve maximum physical strength as well as being unaffected by solvents. All cells are carefully annealed to remove any residual strain left from the fusing process and, with few exceptions, can be used safely with pressure differentials of up to three atmospheres.
General Specifications:
Windows parallel to: better than 3 minutes of arc
Window flatness to: less than 4 Newton fringes
Window polish: 60/40 scratch/dig
Window thickness: 1.25mm
Material Path lengths Tolerance
Glass up to 20mm +/- 0.1mm
Glass 30 to 100mm +/- 0.2mm
Special Optical Glass up to 20mm +/- 0.01mm
Special Optical Glass 30 to 100mm +/- 0.02mm
Quartz up to 0.05mm +/- 0.002mm
Quartz 0.1 to 0.4mm +/- 0.005mm
Quartz 0.5 to 20mm +/- 0.01mm
Quartz 40 to 100mm +/- 0.02mm
The cells can be used with most solvents and acidic solutions. Acids such as HF should be avoided as they will attack the quartz itself while most other acids will not affect the cells. Strongly basic solutions (pH 9.0 and above) will etch the surface of the windows and shorten the useful life of the cells.
Cells which are commonly used (eg. 1-Q-10) are normally
supplied from stock in unlimited quantities of the same match code. The less commonly used cells can usually be supplied in matched sets of two or four. In the case of Tablet Dissolution flow cells, matched sets of eight or more can be supplied. Window Matching Measured at

Strongly basic solutions (pH 9.0 and above) will etch the surface of the windows and shorten the useful life of the cells.
Matched Cuvettes
The high degree of accuracy maintained during production ensures a standard path length tolerance of +/- 0.01mm. The tolerance maintained for parallelism of the windows is better than 3 minutes of arc, therefore quartz cells vary little in transmission values. Slight differences in the transmission of new glass cells are due to variations in raw material transmission characteristics. The transmission of matched cells is measured and each cell is given a match code. These codes are only of real value when comparing new cells because the transmission characteristics may change as surface contamination or deterioration occurs during normal use. Thus, a new cell of a particular match code will not necessarily match an older cell of the same match code.Cells which are commonly used (eg. 1-Q-10) are normally
supplied from stock in unlimited quantities of the same match code. The less commonly used cells can usually be supplied in matched sets of two or four. In the case of Tablet Dissolution flow cells, matched sets of eight or more can be supplied. Window Matching Measured at
