Place the cell into the
cell compartment. Align
the mark on the cell with
that on the photometer.
Carefully pipette 2.0 ml
of the sample into a
reaction cell, close tight-
ly with the screw cap,
and mix vigorously.
Caution, the cell
becomes hot!
Suspend the bottom sed-
iment in the cell by swirl-
ing.
Heat the reaction cell in
the thermoreactor at
148 °C for 2 hours.
Remove the cell from

place in a test-tube rack
to cool.
Swirl the cell after
10 minutes.
Replace the cell in the
rack for complete cooling
to room temperature.
