The other types of cuvettes are more expensive than the plastic cuvette. It is disposable and will be eliminated once complete the spectrometric experiment to prevent risk from reusing cuvettes and damaging expensive quartz. Color and UV range can be analyzed by this type of cuvette. The smallest one are capable of holding 70µL, the medium size contains between 1.5mL and 3.0mL, and the biggest is for testing samples with 2.5mL or larger.[1]

To measure the sample, the transparent side must be placed toward the light in spectrophotometer. For accurate measurement, these testing tubes should be cleaned and without any scratches.[2]
