Turret 6
Discover the Turret 6: a temperature-controlled cuvette holder designed for absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. It delivers precise temperature control from -15°C to 110°C and features built-in stirring for six cuvettes simultaneously. Ideal for laboratories that require rapid testing of multiple samples under identical conditions.
Absorbance, Circular Dichroism, FluorescenceThe Turret 6 is a six-position, rotating, temperature-controlled cuvette holder designed for fluorescence and absorbance measurements. Each cuvette position features three optical ports, enabling 180° and 90° beam paths, except for the Turret 6/Evo, which is optimized for absorbance only. The rotating turret allows seamless switching between cuvettes mid-experiment while maintaining consistent temperature across all six cells. Integrated stirring ensures uniform mixing when required. Additionally, lens options are available for laser spectroscopy applications using standard SMA 905 connections.
Operating from -15 °C to 110 °C, the Turret 6 delivers precise thermal stability using thermoelectric temperature control and a water-cooled heat exchanger. To prevent condensation and maintain optical clarity at lower temperatures, inert dry gas flow is recommended. Failure to use gas at these temperatures may result in condensation, affecting readings and potentially damaging internal components. Like all Quantum Northwest sample holders, the Turret 6 provides unsurpassed temperature control, ensuring stable hold temperatures within a fraction of a degree.
Control is simple with 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. T-App provides features such as real-time plotting, scripting, and direct sample temperature measurement when paired with the 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 Turret 6 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 setup. If an existing model doesn’t fit your instrument or only partially meets your application requirements, contact us to explore customization options.
With its six-position design, exceptional temperature stability, and seamless switching between cuvettes, the Turret 6 is ideal for high-throughput experiments, comparative studies, and applications requiring multiple samples under uniform conditions. Its robust construction and precise control make it a reliable choice for demanding fluorescence and absorbance measurements.

*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.
