CUV-UV Cuvette Holder
Installation Instructions
The CUV-UV cuvette holder for 1-cm path length cuvettes couples via SMA-terminated optical fibers
to our spectrometers and light sources to create small-footprint spectrophotometric systems for
absorbance and transmission experiments. This holder can be optimized for UV-VIS-NIR (~200–
2000 nm) applications.
Parts Included

Cuvette holder assembly for holding 1-cm cuvettes

Two barbed fittings for connecting a temperature stabilizing water source

Screwdriver for adjusting the fit of the cuvette

Allen wrench for adjusting the collimating lenses
Installation
Attaching the Fibers
► Procedure
1. Attach one end of a SMA-terminated optical fiber to one of the collimating lenses. Attach the
other end of this fiber – the illumination fiber – to a light source.
2. Attach another SMA-terminated optical fiber to the other collimating lens. Attach the other
end of this fiber – the read fiber – to the spectrometer.
