TLC 50 Temperature-Controlled Cuvette Holder for Light Irradiation

The TLC 50 is a thermoelectric-temperature-controlled, 4-window cuvette holder that can be used for light irradiation. Rapid and precise temperature changes may be made throughout the range of -40 to +105C. Variable speed magnetic stirring is provided as well as dry gas purge on the four windows of the cuvette. An opaque lid enhances control of the gaseous environment around the cuvette and reduces light leakage. A variety of optical slits are also provided to control the exposure area. Irradiation can be done with wide range of available wavelengths using different LEDs. Intensity of LEDs can be tuned and intensity data may be provided.

INERT Solvent Purification Systems

INERT Solvent Purification Systems is a safe alternative to thermal distillation, alleviating risk of injury to your staff or fire damage to your lab. A solvent purifier, a solvent dryer, and a solvent dispenser all in one, they allow for air-free collection of ultra-dry and de-oxygenated solvents, while eliminating cross-diffusion of solvents vapor.
