Product Overview
The Quartz Scattering Column (OD12mm x Length 30mm) is a precision optical component designed
for diffuse light scattering applications in analytical and
monitoring instruments. Manufactured from high-purity fused silica
(SiO2 > 99.99%), it combines exceptional thermal stability,
chemical inertness, and optical clarity with a specialized inner
diffuse scattering surface that produces uniform light distribution
for accurate spectrophotometric measurements.
Key Features
- Inner Diffuse Scattering Surface: Engineered inner wall delivers uniform light scattering for stable
and repeatable optical measurements, eliminating hot spots and
ensuring consistent spectrophotometric readings
- 1100°C High Temperature Resistance: Withstands extreme thermal conditions without deformation or
optical degradation, enabling use in high-temperature industrial
monitoring applications
- Strong Acid & Alkali Resistance: Outstanding chemical durability against hydrofluoric acid, strong
acids, alkalis, and organic solvents — ideal for direct contact
with aggressive chemical samples
- High Transmittance: Excellent optical clarity across UV to visible spectrum for
precise light transmission and detection
- Zero Metal Ion Precipitation: SiO2 > 99.99% purity ensures no contamination of reagents or
interference with optical test data
Applications
| Industry | Application |
|---|
| Water & Environmental Monitoring | Core optical part for online water quality detectors; uniform light
scattering ensures accurate spectrophotometric testing;
colorimetric cell for wastewater and exhaust gas monitoring against
corrosive samples |
| Biochemical & Medical Testing | Reaction cell for automatic biochemistry analyzers; resistant to
various chemical reagents without contaminating test liquids or
interfering with ion-sensitive detection |
| Laboratory Optical Experiment | Light homogenizer for spectrum calibration and transmittance
measurement via diffuse incident light; uniform light source
accessory for optical calibration benches |
| Industrial Online Inspection | Concentration monitoring cell for corrosive and high-temperature
industrial chemicals; replaces borosilicate glass which cannot
withstand such harsh conditions |
Competitive Advantages
vs. Borosilicate Glass Scattering Cell: Withstands hydrofluoric acid and continuous operation at 1100°C vs
~500°C limit; outstanding thermal shock resistance prevents
cracking under rapid temperature changes; ultra-high purity
eliminates ion precipitation and test deviation
vs. PTFE/Teflon Scattering Cell: Superior optical clarity for UV-visible detection; rigid
dimensionally stable structure maintains consistent light path;
higher maximum operating temperature; no organic outgassing in
vacuum applications
