Introduction
Overview
The CUV-TLC-50F Temperature-regulated Cuvette Holder is a high-quality, versatile sample chamber
with a Peltier temperature controller calibrated against a NIST-traceable thermometer. The device
controls the temperature of the holder from -40 °C to 85 °C and maintains a constant temperature within
±0.02 °C. The CUV-TLC-50F includes the cuvette holder and the external temperature controller box.
Both collimating and focusing lens systems are available in AR-coated fused silica. SMA 905 optical
fiber connectors are provided with the lens systems. To run the thermoelectric cooler efficiently, we offer
a simple water pump and water container.
The CUV-TLC-50F forms the core of a fiber optic spectroscopy system. The holder provides rapid and
precise control of the temperature of a standard 1 X 1-cm cuvette. Since the height of the optical
centerline (the center of the optical path through the cuvette) is 8.5 mm above the outside bottom of the
cuvette, the CUV-TLC-50F readily accommodates a variety of standard micro-cuvettes that depend on
this dimension for small volume work. Fibers and combined lenses can be attached at any combination of
the optical ports.
