High Speed Cuvette

The main objective of these designs is outlined in "3D Printed UV-Vis Cuvette Adapter for Low Cost and Versatile Spectroscopic Experiments," which has been published in the open-access journal ACS Omega. Link to publication: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsomega.7b01310. This specific part is designed to mimic traditional quartz and glass UV-Vis spectrometer cuvettes. In this design, we have a path length of 10 mm and a sample volume of approximately 2.4 mL. This cuvette can be used in most standard UV-Vis spectrometers. This design varies from the "Standard" cuvette only in the label on the side. We recommend printing this design with a black filament to minimize light scattering. A step-by-step video is provided below (post-printing) with materials listed, showing how to assemble the spectrometer. Either quartz or glass windows can be used depending on the spectral range needed for the cuvette.
