Flow Cells
Many companies can design an optical flow cell. However, no one designs a flow cell as well as Guided Wave. Rugged and efficient, our flow cells deliver up to 50% better transmission when compared to other brands. All our flow cells work with any size fiber (200-600 micron) terminated with an SMA 905 connector. They can be manufactured with UV, Vis or NIR optics.
