Measure a Sample Using a Cuvette
Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One User Guide 201
Best practices for cuvette measurements
To measure a sample using a cuvette
The instrument arm can be up or
down for cuvette measurements.
Use 10 mm, 5 mm, 2 mm or 1 mm
cuvettes up to 48 mm tall.
Clean and dry cuvette after each
measurement.
Use cuvettes that are free of scratches
and avoid fingerprints which may
affect results.
Use quartz cuvettes or UV-grade
plastic cuvettes to measure samples
with analysis wavelengths in the
UV range (<340 nm).
Micro, semi-micro, and ultra-micro
cuvettes should be masked.
Fill cuvettes with enough blanking or
sample solution to cover instrument
optical path (2 mm sample beam is
8.5 mm above cuvette bottom).
Lift instrument arm and make sure
cuvette holder is free of debris.
When inserting quartz or masked
plastic cuvettes, align cuvette light path
with instrument light path.

Do not use a squirt or spray bottle on or near the instrument as liquids will flow into
the instrument and may cause permanent damage.
