Preparation for measurement

Before a measurement can be performed the cell must first be loaded onto the sam-
ple holder and then attached to the cell. The complete cell is then inserted into a
standard cuvette and placed into the instrument.
These following operations are described in the next sections; once these are com-
plete the measurement can be performed:

Loading the surface zeta potential cell
The surface zeta potential cell is loaded with a sample as described below:
The sample to be measured should be cut into rectangular pieces no larger than
7mm x 4mm (LxW) and no more than 1.5mm thick (H).
