The invention discloses a microcuvette for the optical analysis of parameters in biological fluids, in particular in blood. The microcuvette includes a basic body having at least one recess or cavity, wherein said recess or cavity comprises at least one measuring section with two opposite, essentially planar surfaces. These surfaces are arranged preferably substantially parallel to each other at a distance a.According to the invention,- the surfaces of the measuring section have dimensions of at least 4 mm in both surface directions x and y,- the surfaces, preferably the whole microcuvette, are made from polymer material which has a transmittance of at least 40%, preferably of at least 50% for electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 400 nm and 650 nm, and- distance a is between 0.01 mm and 0.8 mm. |
