Transfer the solution into
a corresponding rectan-
gular cell.
Select method with
AutoSelector.
Place the cell into the
cell compartment.
Shake vigorously for
1 minute to dissolve the
solid substance.
Add very slowly 1.5 ml
of the sample with pi-
pette, close the cell with
the screw cap, and mix
briefly.
Caution, cell becomes
hot!

Note:
Empty cells with screw caps, Cat.No. 114724 are
recommended for the preparation.
These cells can be
sealed with the screw caps, thus enabling a hazard-free
mixing of the sample.
