Adjusting the Fit of the Cuvette
The ISS-UV-VIS is designed to hold 1-cm square cuvettes. When properly adjusted, the cuvette
should fit snugly into the holder.
► Procedure
1. Locate the two ball plunger screws.
2. Use a small flathead screwdriver to loosen the two ball plunger screws until the end of each
screw is visible in the holder.
3. Insert a cuvette into the cuvette holder.
4. Tighten the ball plunger screws until the cuvette is stationary in the cuvette holder. Do not
over-tighten.
5. Remove the cuvette from the cuvette holder.
