Glass vials

:  

To ensure the best accuracy the vials used should be clean and free of 
marks, scratches, fingerprints etc. They should be washed thoroughly in 
tap water and then rinsed with de-ionised/distilled water to remove any 
traces of tap water.  
 

Instrument: 

The instrument requires very little maintenance but the cell chamber 
should be inspected regularly to ensure there are no traces of dirt in it or 
water which will affect the readings. If cleaning is necessary the chamber 
can be rinsed under a tap and dried using a soft cloth.  
The rest of the instrument can be cleaned using a mild soapy solution. For 
difficult to remove marks isopropyl alcohol can be used.
