Lovibond Sample Cell Cleaning Cloth | Precision Cleaning for Sample Cells and Cuvettes | Uniform Silicone Oil Application for Accurate Water Analysis

Precision Cleaning Cloth for Sample Cells, Cuvettes & Silicone Oil Application

The Lovibond Sample Cell Cleaning Cloth is engineered for laboratory professionals who require spotless, scratch-free sample cells and cuvettes for reliable water quality measurements. Designed for precision cleaning and uniform silicone oil application, this cloth ensures optimal optical performance in turbidity meters, colorimeters, and spectrophotometers.

Ideal for use with Lovibond 194295 Silicone Oil, the cloth provides a smooth, even distribution of oil across the exterior of glass sample cells—helping mask minor imperfections that can interfere with accurate turbidity readings. Its soft, non-abrasive material protects delicate cuvettes and maintains the integrity of optical surfaces used in drinking water, wastewater, environmental, and industrial laboratory applications.

This cloth is equivalent to Hach 4707600, delivering the same high performance at a lower cost, offering dependable savings for laboratories and water treatment facilities.
