• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement
cell, it must be dry outside, and completely free of
fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with
HI 731318
(tissue for wiping cuvets, see chapter
ACCESSORIES) or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
• Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after
reaction, or accuracy will be lost.
• After the reading it is important to discard immediately
the sample, otherwise the glass might become
permanently stained.
• All the reaction times reported in this manual are
referred to 20°C (68°F). As a general rule of thumb,
they should be doubled at 10°C (50°F) and halved at
30°C (86°F).
