UV-Grade Methacrylate Spectrophotometer Cuvettes, Square 10 mm, 4.5 mL, 2 Clear Sides — 500/Case (100/Tray, 5 Trays/Unit)
The Globe Scientific UV-Grade Methacrylate Cuvette is a disposable square cell with a 10 mm path length and two optically clear sides, engineered for low-UV absorbance work. Bench scientists rely on it for nucleic acid and protein quantification, enzyme kinetics, and routine spectrophotometric concentration assays where glass-clean clarity is needed without the cost of quartz.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the usable wavelength range for these methacrylate cuvettes?
UV-grade methacrylate transmits reliably down to roughly 280–300 nm, making these cells suitable for A280 protein and 260 nm nucleic acid work. For deep-UV measurements below ~260 nm, quartz cells are recommended.
How many cuvettes are in one case?
Each unit contains 500 cuvettes packaged as 5 trays of 100. The listed price of $181.30 is per case.
Can these cuvettes be reused or do they require cleaning?
They are intended as single-use disposables to eliminate carryover between samples. Reuse is possible with gentle aqueous rinsing, but solvent cleaning can craze the methacrylate and degrade optical clarity.
Are these compatible with organic solvents like acetonitrile?
No. Methacrylate is not recommended for acetonitrile, aromatic, or chlorinated solvents. Use aqueous buffers, dilute acids/bases, and limit alcohol exposure to brief contact only.
