• Mark this position on the thicker white band on

the top of the cuvet with a water resistant pencil.

• Always use this position to align it with the

sign on the instrument top.

In order to match multiple cuvets follow the next
steps:
• Fill some cuvets with high quality water

(<0.1NTU) up to the 10 mL mark.

• Clean and oil the cuvets as described before.

• Turn the instrument ON.

• Insert the first cuvet into the instrument and

press “

Read

” functional key. Record the

reading.

• Mark this position on the thicker white band on

the top of the cuvet with a water resistant pencil.

MATCHING MULTIPLE CUVETS
Precise measurements require the use of a single cuvet. If it is not possible, cuvet selection and
matching must be performed before taking measurements.
