4.2 Choosing a Location
To ensure that your AquaLab operates correctly and consistently,
place it on a level surface. This reduces the chance of sample mate-
rial spillage or sample chamber contaminate. Also select a location
where the temperature remains fairly stable to avoid temperature
changes that can affect accuracy. This location should be well away
from air conditioner and heater vents, open windows, etc. Place
the AquaLab in a location where cleanliness can be maintained to
prevent contamination of the sample chamber.
