Description

General description

See transmission curve labelled D

These cuvettes have four optically clear sides.

Note: polystyrene and polymethacrylate cuvettes are incompatible with some organic solvents.

Application

Fluorimeter cuvette may be used :

• to perform a fluorimetric assay of the hepatic microsomal O-dealkylation reaction, using ethoxyresorufin (7-ethoxyphenoxazone) as a model substrate for the assay.
• in the cationic liposome-mediated gene transfer method, done in order to deduce the role of helper lipids.
• in the fluorescence experiment modified in the Silber-Porter method, for estimation of corticosterone in rat plasma.
• in fluorimeteric assay for membrane potential to determine membrane depolarization in study done to elucidate the role of membrane potential in the mechanism of action of daptomycin.

Other Notes

Not compatible with some organic solvents.
