Import Tips

Verify compatibility with specific electrophoresis models via manufacturer specs to ensure proper classification under 9027

Include detailed technical datasheets in documentation proving it's a non-optical part for electrophoresis instruments

Avoid misclassification as general lab plasticware (3926) by emphasizing dedicated electrophoresis use
