Cuvette Identification
New cuvettes (type H) are shipped dry; however, cuvettes have
been shipped dry since cuvette type G. That remains a valid
way to identify “good” cuvettes, but type G cuvettes are also
acceptable.
The only exact way to identify cuvettes is on the cuvette
segment itself. The letter designation is located on the
underside of the cuvette segment. In the following illustration,
note the YC at the bottom. The C indicates this is a cuvette
type C. There is no way to identify individual cuvette cells.
