Good Measurement Practices

General Considerations
Sample Cell or Cuvette Material
Quartz sample cells (cuvettes) or sample cells with quartz face plates are
required if you want to use the full 190 to 1100 nm wavelength range of
your spectrophotometer.
If you plan on working only in the visible and/or short- wave near- infrared
range of 350 to 1100 nm, you can use good quality glass cells.
Disposable plastic sample cells, for measurements in the range 400 -
1100 nm, are also available. The quality of these cells varies and they are
generally not recommended.
