Filling a cell or cuvette
Fill the cell with the prepared sample as described below. Also refer to the filling
advice given earlier in this chapter.
Standard cuvettes
A minimum sample volume must be provided. However, this minimum volume
depends on the actual cell type and it is easier to ensure a certain
depth of the
sample in the cell.
This minimum is 10mm from the bottom of the cell (the measurement is made
8mm from the bottom of the cell).

Do not overfill the cell, use about 15mm maximum , as this can produce thermal
gradients within the sample that will reduce the accuracy of the temperature
control.

When filling , tilt the
cuvette and allow it to fill
slowly.

To stop bubbles forming
let the sample flow down
the inside.
