The main power key, main power connection and printer connection are located 
on the rear of the device (see Section 4, "Installation"). 
The BioPhotometer from Eppendorf is used for rapid, simple and convenient 
measurement of the most common methods in research labs in the fields of molecular 
biology and biochemistry. 
Cuvettes
Standard rectangular cuvettes made of glass or plastic that transmit light at every 
measuring wavelength may be inserted into the cuvette shaft. Using the UVette
®
from
Eppendorf, it is now possible to measure nucleic acids in a plastic cuvette.
The height of the measuring window (8.5 mm), as well as the total height (min. 36 mm) 
must be taken into consideration when the cuvettes are selected (see chap. 10 "Short 
instruction"). To ensure correct, precise results, please ensure that the cuvettes are 
clean and that the measuring solution is particle-free. A seal is included with the device 
to protect the cuvette shaft from dust when not in use.
