• In all colorimetric and turbidity measurements, the glass cuvette is an important part of the optical system. Light first passes through the cuvette to reach the sample. Depending on the sample, light is absorbed, transmitted, or scattered. Therefore, if the cuvette glass has defects, dirt, dust, scratches, or fingerprints, the measurement will be affected.

• To hide small defects and scratches, the outer surface of the cuvette should be coated with H198703-58 silicone oil. Silicone oil has the same refractive index as glass and will not change the turbidity reading. Applying silicone oil is very important, especially for low turbidity samples (<1NTU), because scratches and defects on the glass will change the turbidity reading. Simply apply a few drops of oil to a clean, dry cuvette, then wipe thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Wipe away excess oil until you get a thin, uniform layer and the cuvette looks almost dry with no visible oil.
