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.
