  We tested one last year - it was difficult to use so we didn't buy it.  You 
have to make sure you put the cuvette in an exact position and at the right 
time or the machine will give an erroneous reading.  If this is a 
sample you will usually be able to tell that the reading is quite a bit off.  
When this happens for the reference, however, it can mess up a bunch of 
readings.  It has been a while so I don't remember anything beyond what I've 
written.
