Description
Cell Stirring Module
The cell stirring module is mounted in the multicell transport base to provide
magnetic-induction stirring in the cell at or adjacent to the measurement
position. The cell stirring module contains a plastic-cased magnetic impeller
that may be driven by pressurized water. When a magnetic stirring bar (part
number 9301-1161) has been inserted in a solvent-filled, standard 1 cm
cuvette the stirring bar rotates in tandem with the impeller magnet to
produce solution stirring.
Cell Holder
The cell holder has a capacity for eight cells. The outside dimensions of
individual cells must be 12.5 × 12.5 mm and the height from base of the cell to
the sample area 15 mm.
During an analysis, the position of individual cells is maintained by a flat
spring inside each of the cell compartments. The spring alone fixes the cell.
No additional fixing mechanism is needed, see Figure 1.
Optical Filter Kit
An optional optical filter kit (part number G1120-68707) may be used with the
cell holder to modify the incident light at the sample during a measurement in
case of highly photosensitive samples.
