t2x2 Sport
Discover the t2x2 Sport: a temperature-controlled cuvette holder designed for absorbance spectroscopy. It offers precise, independent control from 15 °C to 110 °C for both the sample and reference cuvettes, along with built-in stirring. With its compact, cost-effective design, it’s ideal for budget-conscious labs.
AbsorbanceThe t2x2 Sport is a compact, cost-effective dual cuvette holder designed for precise, independent temperature control of both sample and reference cuvettes. Mounted on a base plate that precisely positions each cuvette in the correct beam path, it requires no alignment. With optical ports on each side of both cuvette holders, it supports absorbance measurements utilizing a 180° beam path. Both holders are designed to accommodate 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 t2x2 Sport ensures exceptional thermal stability using thermoelectric temperature control and a water-cooled heat exchanger. Both cuvette holders can maintain the same temperature or operate independently at different temperatures. Inert dry gas flow helps maintain optical clarity at lower temperatures by reducing condensation. Integrated stirring provides steady, reproducible mixing for both cuvettes. Like all Quantum Northwest sample holders, the t2x2 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 sample and reference 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 t2x2 integrates with a wide range of spectrophotometers. 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, affordability, and adding an additional holder for the reference cuvette the t2x2 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.
