To cell / From cell connections
The sample from the dispersion unit is circulated through the cell via ‘to cell’ and ‘from
cell’ connections and the connected sample pipes.

To cell connection
The ‘to cell’ connections on the dispersion unit and wet cell have yellow identifier marks.
The bottom connection on the dispersion unit connects to the sample 'out' pipe. This is
where the sample flows out of the dispersion unit in to the bottom ‘to cell’ connection of
the wet cell (yellow collar) in the optical unit.
