Cary 4000/5000/6000i/7000 
The Cary 4000/5000/6000i/7000 comes with two single cell holders. 
All instruments come with base plates as standard. 
NOTE 
The single cell holders must be installed onto the base plate before they can be 
installed into the sample compartment of the instrument. For instructions on 
installing the base plate into the sample compartment, see Page 34. 
 
To install the cell holder base and cell holders: 
1  Open the sample compartment lid and remove the front cover. 
2  Place the cell holder base in the sample position on the base 
plate. The notched pillar (see Figure 3) should be on the side to 
the right. 
NOTE 
If you are operating in normal or double mode, the sample position is at the 
front of the sample compartment. If you are operating in reverse mode, the 
sample position is at the rear.
