(NP80 and C40 only) is compatible with standard cuvettes having an
8.5 mm center height. The light path is indicated with a red status LED arrow for the NP80
model and with two white arrows for the C40 model.

For the NP80 the cuvette compartment needs to be activated by the “Change to
Cuvette” button in the parameter area. Once the cuvette option is activated the sample
compartment door will be opened automatically and a red arrow above the cuvette
