Standard Cuvette

The main objective behind these designs is outlined in "3D Printed UV-Vis Cuvette Adapter for Low-Cost and Versatile Spectroscopic Experiments," which appears in the open-access journal ACS Omega. Reference to publication: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsomega.7b01310 This specific component is intended to replicate traditional quartz and glass UV-Vis Spectrometer cuvettes. In this design, there's a path length of 10 mm and a sample volume of roughly 2.4 mL. This cuvette can be used in most standard UV-Vis spectrometers. It's suggested that printing this design with black filament will reduce the amount of light scattering. An instructional video showing how to assemble the spectrometer is provided below, along with the materials needed (post-printing). Either quartz or glass windows can be utilized depending on the spectral range required for the cuvette.
