In several UV/VIS spectroscopy applications, temperature control is a crucial parameter, specifically in the case of temperature-sensitive organic samples.
METTLER TOLEDO has introduced two dedicated high-performance thermostat solutions for UV/VIS applications:
- CuveT: Single sample temperature control
- CuvetteChanger: Multiple sample temperature control

CuveT—compact, fast, and safe
CuveT is a Peltier-based, single cuvette thermostat accessory. It has been improved to occupy very less benchtop space, without sacrificing cooling and heating capabilities. The thermostat unit can be seamlessly fitted on top of the UV/VIS Excellence instrument and can be regulated using the LabX UV/VIS software or the terminal.
CuveT in short:
- Temperature accuracy of ±0.1 °C
- Wide temperature range of 4–95 °C
- Liquid-free configuration
- Double-sensor configuration avoids sample overheating without sacrificing accuracy and speed

CuvetteChanger and LOOP L100—high-throughput temperature control
UV/VIS Excellence series of products can be flexibly connected to third-party instruments. The CuvetteChanger can be coupled with the LOOP L100, which is best suited for high-throughput temperature control UV/VIS analyses. The LOOP L100 by LAUDA is a temperature-controlled thermoelectric circulator.
CuvetteChanger and LOOP 100 in short:
- Temperature accuracy of ±0.1 °C
- Wide temperature range of 4–80 °C
- Up to 8 samples can be analyzed
