qX2

The qX2 is an air-cooled, temperature controlled cuvette holder with two optical ports for use with absorption spectroscopy or any experiment that can be performed using the 180° beam path.

This standard model has an aluminum baseplate that allows for endless user-customizable mounting options. We also have mounting options compatible with a wide array of spectrophotometers from different manufacturers, or contact us today for a custom mounting solution to meet your experimental needs! Check out the available options below!

Part of our Air-Cooled line of cuvette holders, the qX2 is ideal for temperature ranges of 0 °C to 110 °C with no liquid cooling required. Forced air is used to remove heat from the Peltier heat exchanger. No longer is the instrument required to be tethered to a water bucket, chiller, or other circulating liquid reservoir in order to set and maintain precise sample temperatures.

The qX2 also has the ability to stir the sample at a steady reproducible rate, and the ability to flood the optics in a controlled gaseous environment while working at lower temperatures to maintain optical clarity. Use the qX2 to observe absorbance spectra at precisely maintained temperatures, or for temperature ramping, to observe how absorbance changes with temperature.

Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, to easily operate the qX2 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C for all your high temperature experiments. Purchase both to create the ultimate, do-anything device!

It is easy to operate the qX2 using the TC 1 Temperature Controller, included in the purchase price. The sample temperature, stirring speed, and temperature ramp rate may be controlled manually using the TC 1 menu control buttons on the front panel, or by using Quantum Northwest’s computer control software,  T-App, available for purchase.
