Dear netters, I have what may be considered a silly question. We
all know that in looking at UV absorbance in a spectrophotometer
that we use quartz cuvettes because glass absorbs UV light and
doesn't give you an accurate answer. But, can you use quartz
cuvettes in looking at the white light absorbance of something
in a spec? In other words, does a lab need both a set of glass
AND quartz cuvettes? I have not been able to come up with a good
reason why not. Any comments?
Thanks,
