Temperature control is an important parameter in many UV/VIS Spectroscopy applications, especially for temperature-sensitive organic samples. METTLER TOLEDO offers two dedicated high performance thermostatting solutions for UV/VIS applications:

CuveT – Single sample temperature control

CuvetteChanger – Multiple sample temperature control

CuveT is a peltier based, single cuvette thermostat accessory optimized to save benchtop space without compromising heating and cooling capabilities. The thermostat unit fits neatly on top of the UV/VIS Excellence instrument and can be controlled with the terminal or the LabX UV/VIS software.

CuveT in short:

• Wide temperature range, 4ºC – 95ºC
• Temperature accuracy, ±0.1ºC
• Double sensor setup, prevents sample overheating without compromising speed and accuracy
• Liquid-free setup

UV/VIS Excellence products have the flexibility of connecting to third party instruments. Coupling the CuvetteChanger with the LOOP L100 is ideal for high throughput temperature control UV/VIS analyses. The LOOP L100 by LAUDA, is a temperature controlled thermoelectric circulator.  

CuvetteChanger and LOOP 100 in short:

• A maximum of 8 samples
• Wide temperature range, 4-80ºC
• Temperature accuracy, ±0,1ºC

The METTLER TOLEDO temperature control accessories expand the UV/VIS capabilities to applications that demand high temperature accuracy and reproducibility such as protein analysis, enzyme activity or DNA melting point.
