Do not under fi ll the disk. If the disk is underfi lled, the
reagent chambers will not fi ll entirely and results will
be inaccurate.
Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint free wipe.
Disks should be fi lled and used within 10 minutes. They
cannot be fi lled ahead of time.

Handling
The disk should be handled only by the edges.
Avoid touching the top or bottom of the disk. The
light passes through the non-frosted areas of the disk
so these areas must be kept free of smudges and
fi ngerprints. Wet disks should never be placed in the
meter. Wet disks should be dried with a lint-free cloth
before placing them into the chamber.
The disk is positioned in the chamber by aligning the D-shaped hole in the
center of the disk over the D-shaped hub in the photometer chamber. The disk
should be placed gently on the hub. There is no need to fi rmly press the disk
down onto the hub.
Storage
Disks are sensitive to moisture. Avoid opening more packs than are needed.
Disks have a limited shelf life and should not be exposed to the humidity in the
air more than necessary.
 DISK COVER
The black disk cover is placed over the disk in the
photometer chamber to reduce interference from stray
light. The disk cover is positioned over the disk by
aligning the D-shaped hole in the center of the disk over
the D-shaped hub in the photometer chamber. The disk
cover should be placed gently on the hub. There is no
need to fi rmly press the disk cover down onto the hub.
