Pay attention to the following notes, to preserve the integrity of 
the cuvettes: 
 

 

Store the cuvettes only in the original container and at 
room temperature (59-86°F / 15-30°C). 

 

Only remove one cuvette at a time from the container and 
then immediately close the lid. Make sure that the lid is 
completely closed by pressing it down as far as it will go. 

 
The cuvette shelf life is reduced once the lid is opened. See the 

Hemo

Point

®

 

H2

 

cuvette container label for additional information. 

Please make a note of the date of opening on the container label. 
 

3.  The microcuvette is a precision optical component! 

 
The microcuvette is analyzed optically in the 

Hemo

analyzer. The measured absorption is proportional to the 
hemoglobin concentration. The light from the light source should 
penetrate through the sample to the photo detector with the least 
possible influence from the cuvette.  Therefore it is important not 
to touch the optical eye of the cuvette with fingers or sharp 
objects (see Illustration 7). 
 

4.  The microcuvette is only designed for in-vitro testing! 

 

5.  The reagents that coat the inner walls of the cuvette are 

harmful and must not be swallowed. 

4.1.2  Taking a sample of capillary blood 

1.  Take out a microcuvette from the original container and 

immediately close the lid. 

 

Please note Section 4.1.1 “Notes on using the microcuvette”.
