Minimum Volume Applications
To measure minimum sample volumes, use microcells (offered by PerkinElmer).
The minimum sample volume required is a function of the cell internal width or
volume and is specified below.

NOTE: You should align microcells very carefully in the radiation beam by following the
procedures in Aligning the Single Cell Holder on page 65. When aligning
microcells, fill each cell with the minimum volume of liquid specified in the above
table to make sure that the liquid meniscus is not in the radiation beam.
