Hellma 108B-QS Cell: Spectroscopic Precision for Medical Analysis
The Hellma 108B-QS cuvette has been developed to meet the most stringent standards of optical analysis in laboratories, particularly in the medical sector. This semi-micro model is specifically designed for absorbance measurements in the UV, visible and near-infrared spectroscopy range, thanks to its high-performance quartz material. This glass quality ensures reliable and homogeneous transmission over a wide spectral range from 200 to 2500 nm, an essential criterion in high-precision biological and biochemical analyses.
With a 10 mm optical path, the 108B-QS has standardised external dimensions (45 x 12.5 x 12.5 mm) that fit easily into common spectroscopy instrument holders. Its useful volume of 1000 µl makes it ideal for tests requiring moderate sample quantities, while ensuring an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Its base thickness of 9 mm enhances thermal and mechanical stability, reducing the risk of deformation or drift during measurements.
The side walls and base of the cell are black, a technical feature that minimises stray reflections and improves the accuracy of results during measurements that are sensitive to ambient light. This design is particularly appreciated in protocols where the accuracy of the light absorbed by the analysed solution is paramount.
The 108B-QS cell is designed for laboratories requiring rigorous traceability, optimal reproducibility and compatibility with a wide range of chemical and biological substances. Its single-piece quartz body guarantees excellent chemical and thermal resistance, which is essential in medical environments subject to autoclaving or frequent cleaning.
