Warning
The cell area is where all cells are inserted to undertake a measurement. The cell
area is completely self enclosed and controls the sample temperature over the
range 2°C to 90°C.
If the lid is opened with the cell area temperature above 50°C the instrument will
‘beep’ twice every few seconds to warn of high temperatures.

N o t e
. When the Zetasizer is initially switched on the cell area will be driven to
a “default” temperature of 25°C. This will also happen if the software is
closed, but the instrument is not switched off.

The system is capable of heating the cell to high temperatures. Care
should be taken when removing the cells if a measurement has been
performed at high temperatures. It is recommended that the cell area is
allowed to cool before removing the cell.
A
warning triangle is provided in the cell basin.
