Import Tips

Wavelength selection mechanism (monochromator/filter) documentation confirms optical chemical analysis classification

Distinguish from incubator/shaker combinations by specifying primary spectrophotometric function

GMP validation required for pharmaceutical assay readers; pitfall is temperature control triggering 8419 classification
