Revision 5: Additional information for handling cuvettes
Handling cuvettes Cuvettes are supplied in boxes containing cuvette sets. Each set contains a number of
cuvette segments. This way, the cuvettes can easily be handled without touching
them.
Loading and removing cuvettes is guided by the system software. When handling is
required, the rotor moves the cuvette segments to the cuvette port, where you can
load or remove them. You handle one segment at a time. Cuvette segments are placed
in the cuvette ring of the rotor.
To avoid timing errors ensure that all available cuvette segment positions are filled.
Always replace any completely used cuvette segments. A partially used cuvette
segment does not have to be replaced.
See Preparing cuvettes on page B-28.
WARNING
Incorrect results due to scratched or soiled cuvettes
Scratches and impurities on the cuvettes distort the measurements.
r Do not touch the cuvettes and make sure they do not touch other items when handling
them.
