Spanish term or phrase: cubetas de 10 mm de paso de luz frente a isooctano
This relates to the fiscal marking of diesel using a red dye, and appears as follows:

"el marcado fiscal se efectúa incorporando, por cada 1.000.000 litros de gasóleo, un colorante rojo que origine en el gasóleo una absorbencia superior a 0.40 medida entre 525 y 550 nanómetros **con cubetas de 10 mm de paso de luz frente a isooctano"

English translation:10 mm lightpath cuvettes compared to isooctane
Explanation:
I think cuvette is the best translation of cubeta.

isooctane is being used as a reference standard:

"Dilute 1.0 ml of n-hexadecane to 25 ml with isooctane and determine the absorbance in a 5-cm cell compared to isooctane as reference point between 280-400 nm. The absorbance per centimeter path length shall not exceed 0.00 in this range."

Explanation:
not too sure about "trays", but definitely "path length of 10 mm", or "optical path length of 10 mm", and definitely "isooctane".
