3D-printed cuvette holder clip for a spectrophotometer.
Objective: Instrument downtime hinders the productivity of research and teaching activities within institutions. The ability to promptly repair malfunctioning instruments is therefore essential. This work reports the successful design and fabrication of a small but essential part of a spectrophotometer: the cuvette holder clip. This clip is not available for individual purchase from the manufacturer.
Results: The designed 3D-printed replacement clip effectively secured the cuvette in its holder, restoring stable and reproducible absorbance measurements. The material costs is less than 1 USD cent. The 3D model presented in this work provides a rapid and affordable repair to a spectrophotometer commonly used in teaching laboratories and can be modified for a similar repair of other instruments.

期刊介绍:
BMC Research Notes publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles. We support the research community across all scientific and clinical disciplines by providing an open access forum for sharing data and useful information; this includes, but is not limited to, updates to previous work, additions to established methods, short publications, null results, research proposals and data management plans.
