Handling System Components

Calibration Standard

  • Wear latex or nitrile, powder-free gloves to prevent transfer of oil from hands.
  • Do not drop the standard into the sample cup. Roll the standard into the cup to prevent damage.
  • Always return the standards to the case. Standards are unit specific.

Sample Chamber Cap

  • Wear latex or nitrile, powder-free gloves to prevent transfer of oil from hands.
  • Keep the cap on the sample chamber except when inserting or removing the sample cup .
  When left uncapped, the sample chamber temperature may become unstable and/or water vapor will adsorb on the inner surface of the chamber. Either of these conditions can affect analysis results.
  • Avoid laying the chamber cap on a work surface. Debris may collect on the greased surface of the O-ring which can also affect analysis results.
  • When multiple analysis modules are connected, never interchange sample chamber caps. Caps are unit specific.
