Eppendorf µCuvette® G1.0 is a microvolume measuring cell for Eppendorf BioPhotometer and BioSpectrometer.
- Concentration determination of nucleic acids and proteins
- Measurement of highly concentrated samples without prior dilution
- Low self-absorption (≤0.05 A at 260 nm)
- Hydrophobic surface coating on quartz glass for precise formation and positioning of the sample volume
- Simple cleaning to minimize the risk of sample carry-over
The Eppendorf µCuvette G1.0 microvolume measuring cell is a high-quality cuvette made of aluminum and quartz glass.
A defined angle for folding the sides of the cuvette guarantees reproducible handling. The one-component hinged design prevents the loss of individual parts. Exclusively available for use with Eppendorf BioPhotometer and Eppendorf BioSpectrometer.
It is the perfect tool for measuring high concentrations in small volumes. Higher sample concentrations require a shorter optical path length for measurements. With an optical path length of only 1 mm, the µCuvette G1.0 features a light path that is ten times shorter than the light path of standard cuvettes. This allows nucleic acid and protein concentrations to be measured with high reproducibility in a much higher concentration range without prior dilution. Due to the hydrophobic coating on the quartz glass, only 1.5 µL nucleic acid or 3 µL protein sample are required for precise formation of the liquid column. Self-absorption of the µCuvette G1.0 is very low, meaning that the entire measuring range of the photometer can be used.
