0.1-cm
3
Insert
The 0.1-cm
3
insert does not have a separate sample cup. Because of its size, the sample cup is
built into the insert.
Perform the following steps to install and remove the 0.1-cm
3
insert/sample cup:
1. Remove the sample chamber cap and place on a clean work surface with the greased side
facing upward. The cell chamber cap should be left off the sample chamber a minimal
amount of time to prevent contamination from airborne particles.
2. After placing the sample into the insert/sample cup, insert the tips of the pliers into the two
small holes on the upper surface of the insert.
3. Be sure the pliers are securely inserted, then carefully lift the cup and place it into the
sample chamber.
4. Replace the chamber cap.

Retaining Screw
The pliers feature a retaining screw, allowing you to lock the pliers into the proper
position after they have been inserted into the holes. This also makes removing the
insert easier.
