### Spectroscopy Sample Cell Materials

When conducting spectroscopy, the sample cells or cuvettes are made of materials suitable for specific types of spectroscopy. Below are the common materials used for each type:

#### Ultraviolet (UV) Spectroscopy
- **NaCl**
- **Quartz**
- **KBr**
- **Glass**

#### Visible Spectroscopy
- **NaCl**
- **AgCl**
- **Glass**
- **Quartz**

#### Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy
- **KBr**
- **Fused Silica**
- **Quartz**
- **Glass**

Each material is selected based on its transmittance properties and compatibility with specific wavelengths of light used in the respective spectroscopy techniques.
