Plastic Cuvettes (Product Code: SLE/ME/53) are parallel-sided sample cells used to hold liquid samples in the light beam of a colorimeter or spectrophotometer in school, college and research laboratories. Teachers and lab technicians use them for routine absorbance work because each cuvette gives a fixed 10mm path length in a compact 12.55 x 12.65 x 44.5mm body. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier in India for teaching and testing labs.

Plastic Cuvettes hold a coloured or cloudy solution so that a colorimeter or spectrophotometer can measure how much light it absorbs. Because absorbance depends on the distance the light travels through the sample, the constant 10mm path length lets students compare readings and plot calibration curves. Typical practicals include finding the concentration of a copper sulphate solution, following the rate of a reaction and measuring enzyme activity in biology.
For reliable results, fill one cuvette with the solvent alone to zero the instrument, hold each cuvette by the edges away from the light path and wipe the clear faces with lint-free tissue before inserting it. Keep the same orientation in the holder for every reading. If your method uses ultraviolet wavelengths, check with us before ordering, as not every plastic transmits UV light.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades under the name ScienceLab and supplies Plastic Cuvettes from Ambala, Haryana, as part of its Measuring range. The cuvettes are sourced for schools, colleges, research and testing laboratories, dealers and importers. They can be quoted alongside colorimeters, pipettes and other items from the same catalogue, so a lab receives one consolidated offer. Read more about the company on the ScienceLab company profile.

What is the path length of the Plastic Cuvettes?
The Plastic Cuvettes (SLE/ME/53) have a 10mm optical path length between their parallel sides. Absorbance calculations usually assume this path length, so readings from different samples, groups or sessions can be compared directly when the same cuvettes are used.
Will these Plastic Cuvettes fit my colorimeter or spectrophotometer?
These Plastic Cuvettes measure 12.55 x 12.65 x 44.5mm. Compare these dimensions with the sample holder of your colorimeter or spectrophotometer; if you are unsure, send us the instrument make and model through the contact page and we will help you check before you order.
Can Plastic Cuvettes be used for ultraviolet measurements?
Plastic Cuvettes are generally used for visible-light absorbance work, and this listing does not specify the plastic grade for UV transmission. If your method needs ultraviolet wavelengths, ask us before ordering so we can suggest a suitable sample cell for your instrument.
How should Plastic Cuvettes be handled to avoid errors?
Handle Plastic Cuvettes by the edges away from the light path, fill them to the same level each time, tap gently to remove bubbles and wipe the optical faces with lint-free tissue. Fingerprints, scratches and bubbles scatter light and make absorbance readings higher than they should be.
Who supplies the Plastic Cuvettes?
Plastic Cuvettes are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala in Haryana, India. The company supplies laboratory consumables and measuring instruments to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers across India and international markets.
