Precautions for using cuvettes in the laboratory

Cuvettes are one of the more common laboratory supplies. The cuvettes are generally rectangular, with frosted glass on both sides and at the bottom, and the other sides are made of optical glass. So pay attention to the following points when using:
1. When taking the cuvette, the finger can only pinch the frosted glass surface of the cuvette, and do not touch the translucent surface of the cuvette to avoid contamination. At the same time, pay attention to lightly and gently to prevent the influence of external force on the contrasting dish. , damage after stress is generated.
2. The cuvette must be used together and must be compared before each test, otherwise the test results will be meaningless.
3. When measuring the absorbance of a series of solutions, it is usually measured in order from lean to rich to reduce the measurement error.
4. A solution of a substance with corrosive glass may not be placed in a cuvette for a long period of time.
5. The transparent surface of the cuvette cannot be contacted with hard objects or dirt. The height of the solution can be 2/3 of the cuvette. If there is residual liquid on the optical surface, it can be gently absorbed by the filter paper. Then wipe it with lens paper.
6. When measuring the ultraviolet wavelength, a quartz cuvette should be used.
7. Cleaning of the cuvette: Generally, rinse with water and then wash with distilled water. Do not wash the cuvette with an alkaline solution or a highly oxidizing wash to avoid damage. It is also not possible to clean the cuvette with a brush to avoid damaging its light-transmissive surface. The cuvette should be washed immediately after each experiment. The water on the outer wall of the cuvette should be blotted with lens paper or soft absorbent paper to protect the translucent surface. When measuring the absorbance of a colored solution, be sure to wash the inner wall of the cuvette several times with a colored solution to avoid changing the concentration of the colored solution.
