•  Handle instrument carefully. Do not drop.
•  Do not immerse instrument under water.
•  Do not spray water to any part of instrument except the “sample well” 

located over the prism.

•  Do not expose instrument or prism to solvents that will damage it. This 

includes most organic solvents and extremely hot or cold solutions.

•  Particulate matter in a sample may scratch the prism. Absorb sample 

with a soft tissue and rinse sample well with deionized or distilled water 
between samples.

•  Use plastic pipettes to transfer all solutions. Do not use metallic tools 

such as needles, spoons or tweezers as these will scratch the prism.

•  To reduce the effects of evaporation or absorption of water when taking 

readings over a period of time, the prism and sample well can be covered 
with plastic wrap.
