UV fused quartz cuvettes are highly durable compared to plastic and glass-made ones. Fused quartz is a high-purity glass that is made by melting pure silica at very high temperatures. It has excellent optical properties, high chemical resistance, and can withstand high temperatures and pressure.

UV fused quartz cuvettes are widely used in spectroscopy applications, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV) range. They are ideal for use with UV-visible spectrophotometers, as they offer high optical clarity and a low level of background noise. They are also resistant to most chemicals, making them suitable for use with a wide range of samples.

In contrast, plastic cuvettes are not as durable as fused quartz cuvettes. They can become scratched or damaged easily, which can affect their optical properties. They are also not as resistant to chemicals and high temperatures as fused quartz cuvettes.

Glass cuvettes, on the other hand, are more durable than plastic cuvettes but are still not as durable as fused quartz cuvettes. They can crack or break if dropped or exposed to high temperatures or pressure.

Overall, UV fused quartz cuvettes are the best choice for applications that require high durability, optical clarity, and chemical resistance. They may be more expensive than plastic or glass cuvettes, but their long-term durability and reliability make them a worthwhile investment for any laboratory.
