Spectroscopy Consumables
Frequently Asked Questions
Spectroscopy consumables include items such as cuvettes, sample cups, glass substrates, SERS substrates, tubing, and other components used in spectroscopy experiments to hold or transport samples during analysis.
Cuvettes are typically made from quartz, optical glass, or plastic. The choice of material depends on the type of spectroscopy being conducted and the wavelengths of light being used in the analysis.
Selecting the right consumables depends on the type of spectroscopy, the wavelength range, and the sample type. For example, quartz cuvettes are best for UV spectroscopy, while plastic cuvettes are more suitable for visible light analysis.
Some consumables, like quartz cuvettes and glass substrates, can be reused if they are properly cleaned and maintained. However, single-use consumables, such as certain sample cups and tubing, are designed for one-time use to prevent contamination.
SERS substrates are critical in enhancing Raman signals in spectroscopy, allowing for the detection of analytes at ultra-low concentrations. They are widely used in fields requiring high sensitivity, such as pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and chemical detection.
