In-Line Flow Cells

The in-line flow cells have been developed for in-line absorption measurements.
The flow cells can be delivered for different line sizes such as ¼", ½" and 1" diameter.
The flow cells consist of Swagelok union cross tube fittings and 2 UV/VIS/NIR collimating lenses. The optical path depends on the size of the flow cell, the 1/4" has 5mm optical path, the 1/2" has 10mm optical path and the 1" flow cell has 20mm optical path.
They have SMA905 connectors for easy coupling to our comprehensive line of fibre optic cables and bundles. The ½" flow cell is also available with variable focusing to optimise light throughput in the (D)UV spectral range.
