CUV-ALL-UV/VIS
The CUV-ALL-UV/VIS has 4 collimating lenses, 4 x COL-UV/VIS in 2 optical paths. The CUV-ALL can be
used to do simultaneously measurements with a dual channel spectrometer, such as AvaSpec-2048-2.
Operating instructions:
1.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the port of the cuvette holder and the light
source.
2.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the opposite port the cuvette holder and the
spectrometer's master channel.
3.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the other port of the cuvette holder and the
light source.
4.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the opposite port the cuvette holder and the
spectrometer's slave channel.
5.
Optionally install a filter by loosening the filter screw and insert the filter into the filter slot,
max filter size is 5 mm.
6.
The cuvette holders are designed to hold 10 mm cuvettes, 2 ball plunger screws can be adjusted
to secure an optimal reproducible cuvette position. Focusing of the 2 lenses: Loosen the set
screw of the collimating lens with the Allen Wrench key 1,27 mm on the barrel and slide the
inner barrel until you see the optimal signal for your spectrometer in raw data intensity counts.
The CUV-ALL-UV/VIS can be used for fluorescence applications as well, for fluorescence follow these
instructions:
1.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the cuvette holder and the light source
2.
Attach an SMA terminated optical fiber between the 90° port on the side of the cuvette holder
and the spectrometer
