Our Microcuvette Technology

The Microcuvette - a simple yet remarkable innovation

Microcuvette Application

When the tip of a microcuvette touches a drop of sample, it automatically draws the precise
amount needed into a tiny mixing cavity. This cavity, dimensioned within thousands of a
millimeter, contains dried reagent that dissolves when the liquid reaches it. The microcuvette
is then placed in a photometric analyzer, which quickly returns an accurate measurement
value.

Microcuvettes for various categories and applications

Working with microcuvettes, dried reagents and photometry, it is possible to analyze not just
hemoglobin, but almost any substance in a liquid medium. Today we produce microcuvettes
for hemoglobin, glucose and urine albumin analysis, and even microcuvettes for specific
applications within those categories. More microcuvettes are on the way, as we use our
knowledge of advanced chemistry to develop methods for other important analytes. In
addition, we are taking microcuvette technology in all new directions. Using the same type of
microcuvette with dry reagent but using a new technology, a photo microscope, we now can
count and recognize different types of cells and particles.
