Frequently asked questions

What spectrophotometers is the kit compatible with?

The Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is designed specifically for integration with certain Unico and SpectroQuest spectrophotometer series, enabling high-sensitivity analysis with long pathlength cells. The compatible series are:

  • Unico S2150 and S2150UV Series
  • SpectroQuest SQ2800, SQ2802, SQ3802, and SQ4802 Series

It is crucial to select the correct configuration, as the specific variant dictates compatibility and the maximum cell pathlength supported (either up to 50mm or 100mm).

What components are in the Long Path Cell Holder Kit?

The Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is shipped as a Factory New accessory, designed to accommodate extended cell pathlengths (up to 50mm or 100mm) in compatible spectrophotometers.

Each standard kit universally includes the following two essential components:

  • Universal Base: This provides the stable mounting framework for integration into your spectrophotometer system.
  • One Cell Holder: This mechanism secures and precisely positions the long path spectroscopic cell during measurement.

Note: While the basic kit contains one cell holder, specific configurations tailored for the SpectroQuest series may be designed to hold up to four long path cells.

Does the kit support long pathlength cells?

Yes, the Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is designed specifically for spectrophotometry applications requiring longer optical pathlengths. This allows for higher sensitivity measurements than standard cuvettes.

Depending on the specific configuration you select, the kit supports cells with pathlengths of either up to 50mm or up to 100mm.

Does this kit support versatile path lengths?

Yes, the Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is designed to support cells with path lengths up to 50mm or 100mm, depending on the specific configuration you choose. This versatility allows for precise and adaptable measurements across various spectrophotometry applications.

Does the long path cell holder improve measurement sensitivity?

Yes, the Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is specifically designed to significantly improve measurement sensitivity in your spectrophotometer.

This functionality is essential for high-precision laboratory analyses, especially when working with low-concentration samples or those with low absorbance. It achieves this by:

  • Extending the Optical Path: The holder accommodates spectroscopic cells with pathlengths up to 50mm or 100mm, depending on the chosen configuration, greatly increasing the distance light travels through the sample.
  • Enhancing Detection Limits: By extending the pathlength, the measured absorbance signal is directly boosted (based on the Beer-Lambert Law). This results in a stronger, more reliable reading, enhancing the detection and quantification limits for challenging samples.
  • System Compatibility: The kit is available in configurations tailored for Unico S2150/S2150UV or SpectroQuest SQ2800/SQ3802/SQ4802 series spectrophotometers, ensuring precise integration.
What is included with the cell holder kit?

The Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit includes the core mechanical assembly required for extended pathlength measurements. The kit universally provides two essential, factory new components:

  • Universal Base: This metal chassis component provides stable mounting and integration within your spectrophotometer’s housing.
  • One Cell Holder: This component securely positions and cradles the long path spectroscopic cells.

Specific configurations of the kit are required to match your instrument (Unico S2150/S2150UV or SpectroQuest models) and support pathlengths up to 50mm or 100mm.

What instruments are compatible?

The Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is specifically designed for integration with two main series of Unico spectrophotometers:

  • Unico S2150 & S2150UV Series
  • SpectroQuest Series (including models SQ2800, SQ2802, SQ3802, and SQ4802)

This accessory is essential for performing measurements that require extended optical path lengths, supporting cells with pathlengths up to 50mm or 100mm, depending on the specific configuration you select.

Is the long path cell holder kit durable?

Yes, the Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit is built with high-quality materials to ensure long-term stability and precise performance in laboratory environments. Its durability features include:

  • Robust Construction: The Universal Base is made from a durable metallic material (likely stainless steel or aluminum) to provide stable mounting within the spectrophotometer.
  • Precision Components: The cell holder elements are constructed from black plastic/composite materials, engineered to accurately and securely hold long pathlength cells (up to 50mm or 100mm, depending on the configuration).
  • Condition and Support: The accessory is provided in Factory New condition and is backed by a 1-Year warranty, confirming its original quality and reliable support.
How does this kit enhance measurement sensitivity?

The Unico Long Path Cell Holder Kit significantly enhances measurement sensitivity by enabling the use of longer pathlength cells. This is essential for analyzing samples with low concentrations or achieving lower detection limits, particularly in analytical chemistry.

Here’s how the sensitivity is improved:

  • Extended Pathlength Support: The kit accommodates cells up to 50mm or 100mm in pathlength, depending on the specific model configuration selected.
  • Increased Absorbance Signal: By increasing the pathlength, the light interacts with more sample molecules. Based on the Beer-Lambert law, this proportionally increases the absorbance signal, resulting in a much stronger, more reliable reading for dilute samples.
  • Improved Accuracy: The resulting stronger signal allows for more accurate and reliable measurements for samples that might otherwise yield signals too weak for standard cuvettes.

This accessory ships as a Factory New complete kit, including the essential Universal Base and one Cell Holder for direct integration with compatible Unico and SpectroQuest spectrophotometer series.

What cell types does this kit support?

This Long Path Cell Holder Kit is specifically designed to accommodate long path cells used in spectrophotometry. It is essential for applications requiring longer optical pathlengths than standard cuvettes.

Key pathlength support details:

  • General Compatibility: Supports cell pathlengths up to 50mm or 100mm, depending on the selected kit configuration.
  • SpectroQuest Configurations: The configurations for the SpectroQuest series (SQ2800, SQ3802, SQ4802) support either a 50mm or 100mm pathlength and are designed to hold up to 4 cells.
  • Unico Configurations: The configuration for the Unico S2150 and S2150UV Series supports up to 100mm pathlengths.
