2 Overview Quantum Northwest offers the largest selection of Peltier-based cuvette holders on Earth. With a seasoned scientific design and manufacturing team in place, Quantum Northwest builds cuvette holders for almost every commercially available spectrometer, and offers the customization sometimes required for unique scientific problems. Whether your spectrometer is new, or you are retrofitting an older instrument, Quantum Northwest s staff can help you find the right Peltier unit for your research needs. easy installation 2

3 Applications Control of sample temperature is essential for high-quality spectroscopic measurements. Quantum Northwest offers a variety of single-, double-, and multicuvette holders for UV-Vis-NIR absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism, fiber optic, and laser spectroscopies. Many of these products may be ordered with extended temperature capabilities of +150 C to -55 C, and all come with dry gas purging and magnetic stirring. laser applications 3

4 Partnerships Quantum Northwest partners with the leading global manufacturers of spectrometers to develop Peltierbased cuvette holders that neatly and precisely replace the standard cuvette holder that comes with an instrument. Quantum Northwest s partners include Agilent Technologies, Edinburgh Instruments, Hitachi High Technologies, Horiba Scientific, ISS, Ocean Optics, Shimadzu, StellarNet, and others. a complete selection 4

5 Custom instrumentation Custom instrumentation is also available from Quantum Northwest. Because Quantum Northwest makes frequent modifications to its existing products, adapts its products to new applications, and develops prototype spectrometers, it can make a single custom instrument with low costs. custom instrumentation 5

6 A complete selection Quantum Northwest s current product line ranges from the t2 Sport, an inexpensive cuvette holder with a compact structure that will fit in nearly any UV-Vis spectrophotometer, to the qchanger 6, which provides temperature control and magnetic stirring for six cuvettes in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Stand-alone cuvette holders include the qpod for absorbance, fluorescence, or Raman, with or without the use of optical fibers, and the FLASH 300, designed to mount on an optical breadboard for laser spectroscopy C To -55 C Extended Temperature Spectroscopy 6

8 t2 Sport The t2 Sport is an inexpensive cuvette holder with a compact structure that will fit in nearly any UV/Vis spectrophotometer. It provides temperature control for single beam instruments or the sample beam in a dual beam instrument. Use it for normal temperature ranges of about -10 C to 110 C. 8

9 t2x2 Sport The t2x2 Sport combines two inexpensive, compact t2 cuvette holders for use in a dual-beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer, one for the sample and one for the reference. Each cuvette may be controlled independently of the other. Use the t2x2 Sport for normal temperature ranges of about -10 C to 110 C 9

10 Versa 20 The Versa 20 is a versatile cuvette holder for use in UV/Vis spectrophotometers. An optional windowed jacket is available for work at low temperatures, isolating the cuvette from the environment. The normal temperature range of the Versa 20 is -40 C to +105 C. An extended temperature option permits work from below -40 C up to +150 C. 10

11 qchanger 6 Increase productivity with the qchanger 6, providing temperature control and magnetic stirring for six cuvettes in a UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The qchanger 6 has a temperature range of -15 C to +110 C, and uniform, stepping motor-driven magnetic stirring with a range of 200 to 2000 rpm. 11

12 Luma 40 The Luma 40 provides optical ports on all four sides of the cuvette and is used primarily for fluorescence measurements. An optional windowed jacket is available for work at low temperatures, isolating the cuvette from the environment. The normal temperature range of the Luma 40 is -40 C to +105 C. An extended temperature option permits work from below -40 C all the way up to +150 C. 12

13 Turret 4 The Turret 4 provides uniform temperature and magnetic stirring for four cuvettes. It may be used as a four-position sample changer for absorbance or fluorescence measurements. The Turret 4 has a temperature range from about -15 C to +105 C. 13

14 Turret 6 The Turret 6 is a 6-position cuvette changer for absorbance or fluorescence measurements. A secondary housing around the turret permits gas purging around the cuvettes and makes it ideal for use in circular dichroism spectrometers. A fiber optic version provides lenses and fiber optic connections, permitting its use as the core of a high-throughput spectrometer. 14

15 CD 250 The CD 250, with its cuvette-driven architecture, is ideal for a variety of forms of spectroscopy: UV/Vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism. The CD 250uses an exchangeable cuvette carriage, and can therefore accommodate a wide variety of cuvette styles, films, plates and other samples. It is thus ideal for circular dichroism measurements that often depend on the use of cylindrical, square or rectangular cells of various path lengths. Use it in place of the Versa 20 in many UV/Vis spectrophotometers. 15

16 qpod The qpod is a compact sample compartment with a temperature-controlled cuvette holder in the center. Four optical ports surround the cuvette holder and may be configured as needed with optics for many kinds of measurements. Use it for absorbance, fluorescence, or Raman spectroscopy, with or without the use of optical fibers. 16

17 FLASH 300 The FLASH 300 is a stand-alone temperature-controlled cuvette holder that is generally mounted on an optical breadboard, surrounded by optical components. It has vertical and horizontal position adjustments. The normal temperature range of the FLASH 300 is -40 C to +105 C. An extended temperature option permits work from below -40 C all the way up to +150 C. An optional windowed jacket is available for work at low temperatures, isolating the cuvette from the environment. 17

18 PAS 1010 The PAS 1010 is a complete system for pulsed-laser photoacoustics, without the laser. The core of the system is a FLASH 300 cuvette holder outfitted for use with an ultrasonic transducer, with the temperature stability and precision required for this form of spectroscopy. The PAS 1010 provides optics, energy probes, a fast diode trigger, cuvette holder, transducer, preamp, data acquisition hardware and a digitizing oscilloscope. The components are linked together with software for data collection, processing and analysis. 18

19 Accessories Numerous accessories are available for use with Quantum Northwest cuvette holders. These include software, water circulators, windowed jackets for isolating the cuvette from the ambient environment, optical slits for limiting light access, cuvette carriages for the CD 250, optics for the qpod and qpod 2e, and accessories for pulsed-laser photoacoustics. 19
