Cuvettes
-
Reference is to the right, samples to the left
The reference cuvette is the one that is farthest away from the front of the machine.
- Located near the back of the UV chamber.
A beam of light will be split into two beams
- These beams will shine through your sample and a reference then compare the two wavelengths
The sample cuvette should be placed in the sample cuvette holder
- The sample should be taped as flat as possible against the cuvette's outer layer
- do not tape sample to the inside of the cuvette
