Light Transmission Through Glass
Transmission Comparison Between Glass Types
UV Absorbing Performance of Plastic Coated ULTRA-WARE® and Amber Stained Borosilicate Glass
Percent transmission of UV and visible wavelengths through borosilicate glass: (A) clear borosilicate glass; (B) amber stained borosilicate glass; and (C) borosilicate glass coated with plastic that is UV absorbing and autoclavable. Curve C represents the UV and visible transmission characteristics of the plastic coated Ultra-ware HPLC reservoirs. Notice that the plastic coated Ultra-ware HPLC reservoirs absorb all UV up to about 385 nm, whereas amber stained glass transmits up to 4% of UV in the 300-350 nm region.
DWK Life Sciences amber stain capabilities include the staining of any borosilicate product.
