t2 Sport
Discover the t2 Sport: a temperature-controlled cuvette holder designed for absorbance spectroscopy. It offers precise control from 15 °C to 110 °C, and built-in stirring. With its compact, cost-effective design, it’s ideal for budget-conscious labs.
AbsorbanceThe t2 Sport is a compact, cost-effective cuvette holder designed for precise and accurate temperature control in UV/Vis spectroscopy. Built for absorbance measurements, it features dual optical ports in a 180° beam path and accommodates standard 10 mm square cuvettes, with options for slimmer cuvettes using Quantum Northwest’s thermal conductive adapters.
Operating from -15 °C to 110 °C, the t2 Sport ensures exceptional thermal stability using thermoelectric temperature control and a water-cooled heat exchanger. Inert dry gas flow helps reduce condensation at lower temperatures, maintaining optical clarity. Integrated stirring provides steady, reproducible mixing for the cuvette. Like all Quantum Northwest sample holders, the t2 Sport provides unsurpassed temperature control, ensuring stable hold temperatures within a fraction of a degree.
Control is straightforward using the TC-1 Temperature Controller, included with purchase. Users can set temperatures, stirring speeds, and ramp rates via the TC-1’s front panel or through T-App, Quantum Northwest’s optional control software, which provides features like real-time plotting, scripting, and direct sample temperature measurement when paired with the optional Probe/10K sensor Even without T-App, the TC-1 display provides a direct readout of the sample temperature when using the Probe/10K.
The t2 Sport integrates with a wide range of spectrophotometers. The standard model mounts easily to both imperial and metric optical breadboards, with additional models available for specific instruments. Browse our available models to find one compatible with your instrument. If an existing model does not fit your instrument or only partially meets your application requirements, contact us to explore customization options.
Combining reliability, flexibility, and affordability, the t2 Sport is a trusted solution for steady-state and temperature ramping experiments in spectroscopy laboratories of all sizes.

*The holder's temperature performance depends on the operating environment and setup conditions, which must support proper heat dissipation and condensation reduction. While the listed temperatures are consistently achieved during testing, they are not guaranteed in all environments or setups. Meeting the ideal setup conditions outlined in the product's manual is necessary to achieve specific temperature stages.
**The extended range applies only when all corresponding High or Low customization options are implemented. The higher limit is extended by the High Limit package option, and the lower limit is extended by the Low Limit package option.
