4.3 Cuvette insert
The insert for the electroporation cuvette is next to the keypad at the
front of the device. To remove the cuvette, pull out the cuvette insert.
When inserting a new cuvette, ensure that the nose of the cuvette fits into
the rear slot. Push the cuvette insert containing the cuvette into the device
up to the stop. A sensor in the device detects whether the cuvette insert
contains a cuvette.
Note: When transporting the device, please ensure that the insert
contains an empty cuvette. Alternatively, transport the cuvette insert
separately.
Different inserts are used for the modification level "cell fusion".
