into the cell housing. Release the locking knob (Fig. 4:6) by turning it

against the direction of the arrow and insert the flow cell in its holder

into the optical unit. Lock it in position by turning the locking knob

fully in the direction of the arrow.
For more information please refer to the instruction sheet supplied

with the respectively flow cell.
