The side-illuminated cylindrical quartz cell has a protruding quartz window on its side wall so the working electrode can be illuminated from the side. The body is fusion-welded quartz with transmittance above 95% (manufacturer data). The quartz neck is flanged; the PTFE lid is pressed onto a gasket with a locking ring and electrode feedthroughs are sealed with O-ring screws.
The cell works with standard 6 mm shaft electrodes or 6 mm electrode holders. A gas inlet/outlet can be added on request. If you need a fully sealed system, choose the absolutely sealed version of this cell.
In the standard-sealed cell, the lid and electrode feedthroughs are closed with O-rings and sealing screws. An oxygen-free atmosphere is maintained by purging with nitrogen or argon. It is not intended for vacuum or pressure.
Quartz (fused silica) transmits light from about 190 nm up to the near infrared, while borosilicate glass largely blocks UV light below about 320 nm. Quartz is therefore used for UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry and photoelectrochemical work with UV light. Quartz is not resistant to hydrofluoric acid (HF).
