qX2
User-customizable, air-cooled, Peltier-controlled cuvette holder with two optical portsThe qX2 is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder with two optical ports for use with absorption spectroscopy or experiments that can be performed using the two ports. This is the least expensive version intended to be mounted and adapted entirely by the user. Use the qX2 to set and maintain precise sample temperatures and stir at a steady reproducible rate, while bathing the cuvette in a controlled gaseous environment. Although dependent on rapid, precise Peltier technology, no circulating water is required for normal operation from 0 °C to 110 °C. Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, and operate the qX2 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. Control the qX2, using the TC 1B Temperature Controller included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase.
