Unpacking for Checking   

The Spectro 96 Fluorospectrophotometer main unit and the computer or the main unit and the 

printer are packed with a fiberboard box. For long-distance transport, users may make a request for 

a wooden box as additional outer packing. 

 

3.2.1

 

Checking the Outer Packing 

Before unpacking, check that the outer packing is intact. If finding the packing to be incomplete 

or finding marks of impact on the packing, please contact the transport insurance department. 

 

3.2.2

 

Unpacking for Counting 

Unpack at the position of adhesive seal tape. Take out the Fluorospectrophotometer 

main unit carefully. (Please keep the outer packing so as to use it again when moving the instrument 

later. Check the main unit, the standard fittings, accessories purchased by choice and spare parts 

against the packing list. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact the local dealer or our 

company immediately.
