Abstract
The design and characterization of a new type of cuvette for UV-Vis spectroscopy and Far UV spectroscopy are presented in this paper. The Mesh-Wire Cuvette MWC is a sample cell that accommodates a sample of aqueous nature for instrumental analysis. The MWC is a modified conventional plastic cuvette that is modified with mesh-wire windows for UV-Vis and Far UV radiation transmission. The mesh-wire window eliminates the walls that come between the aqueous sample and probing radiation. The walls of conventional cuvettes are made of plastic, glass, quartz, or other ceramics transparent to UV-Vis and Far UV radiation. Removing the said walls and replacing them with air would allow the passage of all incident wavelengths and maximize the ratio of the transmission of radiation intensity. The Mesh-Wire Cuvette provides users in various areas of science greater access to wavelength regions (e.g. Far UV to X-ray) that are not practical to apply with existing technology.
