Patent attributes
A cuvette with at least one sealing element and two transparent elements is provided where the latter are arranged at a distance from one another and define two opposing boundary faces of a sample channel and the sealing element defines side walls of the sample channel as a result of which the sample channel is formed as a channel that is closed in the longitudinal direction with an inlet opening and an outlet opening. At least one spacer is provided which keeps the transparent elements at a distance from one another. At least one of the two transparent elements has a projection which extends towards the other transparent element and forms a boundary surface of the sample channel such that the height of the sample channel is less than the height of the at least one spacer.
