Caution
The two trays that hold the cuvettes can be removed for cleaning.
The cuvette holder provides a place to store the thermal cap during changeover
of cells. The cap is released by raising the cap and lifting off the cap post.
Similarly storage is provided for the two cell “ thermal contact plates ” used
with the folded capillary cell. These work in the same manner as the thermal
cap
B
above and provide thermal accuracy and stability. Place these in the holder
to the left of the tray.
The cuvette holder includes a serial number, model number and option labels
These identify the instrument and should be quoted in any correspondence with
Malvern Instruments. Refer to the identification table in chapter 2.

. The Zetasizer Nano model, serial number, software and firmware
version can be found by left-clicking the Nano icon in the right corner
of the status bar.
1 Cells and Cuvettes
A range of cells and cuvettes are available to use with the Zetasizer instrument.
Full details are given in the making measurement chapters, but briefly the
following cells can be used.
Cell Application
Disposable “polystyrene” cuvettes
– Standard and Small volume For Size and Zeta potential (with dip-cell)
Quartz glass cuvettes – Square –
Standard, Low and ultra-low
volume, flow For Size, Molecular weight and Zeta potential
(with dip-cell)
Folded capillary cell For Zeta potential, Size and Molecular weight
Universal ‘Dip’ cell For Zeta potential

Ensure the thermal cap is lowered and all cuvettes have been removed
before swinging the holder back under the instrument base.
