2.4.4 How to Set Cell

This section explains about the cell, including cell selection,
sample volume required for measurement and how to set a cell
to the 6-cell holder.
a. About Cell
10 mm cell is generally used for the spectrophotometer.
This cell is 10 mm on an inner side.
Cell Name
10 mm quartz cell
(optionally available)
10 mm glass cell

b. Setting of Cell
The cell has transparent and frosted faces. It should be
held by the frosted faces. If held by the transparent faces,
its measurement face will be contaminated with fingerprints,
thus causing an error in measurement.
