and measurement.

The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• For dosing the wine sample, we recommend to use
the supplied Hanna HI 731340 automatic pipette.
For a correct use of the Hanna automatic pipette,
please follow the related Instruction Sheet.
• In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain
more accurate measurements, it is recommended
to close the cuvet first with the supplied HDPE
plastic stopper
and then with the black
cap.
• In order to measure exactly 5 mL of reagent with
the 5 mL syringe:
(a) push the plunger completely into the syringe and insert the tip into the reagent bottle.
(b) pull the plunger up until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 5 mL mark.
(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are
hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in
vertical position above the cuvet, push the plunger completely down into the syringe. Now
the exact amount of 5 mL has been added to the cuvet.
