Why Superior Cuvette
COMMON QUESTIONS
WHY CAN'T I USE MY ROUND CUVETTE?
That's a great question and in the past that's all that was available. Here at Superior Cuvette we looks at the physics of the process, after all this is science. A round cuvette only lets light in at the tip of the round surface (Snell's Law). we wanted MORE. By flattening the cuvette we get more UV exposure. Better exposure, Superior treatments and better outcomes for your patients.
What exactly is Snell's Law?
This explains how light travels when it hits an obstacle. First glass reflects light, while quartz amplifies it. Second, light does not travel around a curve therefore the maximum flat surface area equals. more exposure.
​
While UV C can penetrate glass, at about 30%, UV A has very limited penetration through glass.
Why Quartz?
Glass is considered a light blocker. Especially for UV B (sunlight) and UV A. Because quartz is visually clean both the UV A and UV C will be enhanced.
Superior Cuvette use only high quality >99% pure quartz.
Do you have a UVBI machine?
Yes! Superior Cuvette now has the Model I Device. Our device is designed with modern technology, precision tuned LEDs. Previous devices used mercury vapor bulbs . While this was good technology at origination of the device, today we have technology to ensure precision. Our LEDs are third party verified for frequency and sustainability. Take me to the machine.
Can I use your cuvette in my device?
Possibly, yes. We do custom bridges for some devices that allow the conversion from the round cuvette to out Superior Flat Quartz Cuvette.
