Dear Gloria,

I seem to remember that we had a DynaPro DLS system and used disposable plastic 
cuvettes (low volume). I think these are the ones we used, and we were very 
happy with them. If memory serves, we could do about 25uL samples, and they 
were individually packed so cleanliness was not a concern.

Sigma has a supply of quartz cuvettes here that you might find helpful:

GOOD LUCK

Does any one know of a source of these cuvettes?
Protein Solution doesn't exist anymore
and Wyatt no longer has these.

Here's another one, catalog number 105-250-15-40:

http://www.hellma-analytics.com/kuevetten/136/en/pg_id,41$g_id,24$item_id,63/fluorescence-cells.html#63

We use that for light scattering on a Zetasizer Nano.

At hellma-analytics dot com, the closest match seems to be catalog 
number 176-353-15-40, but, that's an HPLC flow cell.

Hello, Gloria and everybody,

I'm typing most of this reply from memory.

When I tried to buy one, my recollection was that it was available 
from Hellma, but I couldn't (and still can't) find my Hellma paper 
catalog, and for some reason I did not find the Hellma web site when I 
wanted to buy a cuvette. I have since learned to spell "Google".


I have the starnacells dot com paper catalog in front of me. What you 
want is almost catalog number 16.12F-Q-1.5/Z15. The Z parameter should 
probably be closer to 14 than 15mm.


That catalog number from Starna is probably the one that I bought some 
years ago, and here is my recollection of what happened: The cell 
arrived, and I found that light did not go through unless I pushed it 
sideways. I measured the old Dynapro cuvette, and it was 
12.45x12.45mm. The cell from Starna was 12.25x12.35mm. I returned it 
and Starna sent me a replacement that was 12.35x12.25mm. When this 
comedy of rectangular cuvettes tired me I returned the nth cell that 
they sent me and gave up trying to buy one.


One more detail: the above recollections are about a 13,714-year old 
DynaPro with the microcuvette device added as post-translational 
modification. It's so old that the serial number is probably negative. 
I don't know if a more recent instrument has the same cuvette holder 
geometry.


I hope that partial information helps,
  Dan

Hi,

A crazy solution may be to make a cuvette with a 3D printer. I'm not sure if 
the available resins are transparent to DLS. 

Best wishes,
Reza
