Sub-micro cells (Type 16, open top and low head space)

Product / Spectroscopy

Sub-micro cells keep the exterior dimensions of a standard cell and are designed for measuring very small samples of 10 µl to 160 µl. The entrance to the sample compartment is hemispherical to avoid sample loss by capillary action. The cell is supplied with a PTFE cover and a tight-sealing polyethylene cap. Low head space (LHS) versions are designed for thermal melt and come with a special PTFE stopper, which reduces the air volume. The correct "Z" dimension (8.5, 15 or 20 mm) must be selected for the instrument. Unless specifically designed otherwise, all cells are assembled by fully fused construction without intermediate adhesives and can generally be used with pressure differentials of up to three atmospheres. Standard window thickness is 1.25 mm and the standard path length tolerance is ±0.01 mm (catalog general specifications).
