Three vertical rectangular test cuvettes labeled Ca-H, ALK, and pH with purple, green, and brown liquids respectively.

Cuvette Library

60+ parameters. One platform.

A growing library of non-hazardous, single-use cuvettes covering minerals, microbial detection, physical parameters, and predictive corrosion models. Stable across extreme field temperatures. Compatible with specific Retego Aegis™ and Retego Certus™ deployment.

Pre-loaded chemistry. Field-ready.

Every Retego cuvette contains pre-loaded, non-hazardous reagent chemistry in a sample-ready format. The user adds 3 mL of water, the cuvette goes into Retego Aegis, and the multivariate optical analysis returns a quantitative result. No reagent handling. No measurement of separate fractions. No technician-grade precision required for accurate results.

The cuvettes are stable across the temperature ranges encountered in real field conditions, from oilfield summer heat to residential winter inspections. Shelf life is documented for each cuvette type and printed on the lot label. Storage requirements are minimal and documented in the field reference card that ships with Retego Aegis.

The cuvette library is the consumable engine of the Retego platform. Every test feeds the Retego app. Every result becomes part of the customer's defensible water record. Every parameter added to the library extends the value of Retego Aegis without requiring any change to the hardware or training.

Cuvettes are organized by category. Order by parameter, by configured kit, or by subscription.
