• It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
• Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry outside,
and completely free of fingerprints, oil and dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318
or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
• Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain
accurate measurements, remove bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the
cuvette.
• Do not let the reacted sample stand for too long after reagent is added, as
accuracy will be affected.
• After the reading it is important to immediately discard the sample, otherwise
the glass might become permanently stained.
