Do not open the analyzer housing. Please contact your local Sartorius Service should any problems arise with Fire Explosion your device.
- Page 6 Poisoning Caustic burns – Substances containing toxic or caustic or corrosive components may only be dried under a fume hood. The value for the “lower toxic limit” in a work area must not be exceeded. Corrosion: – Corrosion may be caused by substances that release aggressive vapors during the heating process (such as acids).

A physical property related to the moisture content of materials of liquid, moisture in the substance is measured pasty, and solid substances using the (e.g., conductivity). - Page 15 IR-Strahlung IR rays Wärmeenergie Heat Substanz Substance How the rays penetrate the sample depends on the permeability of the sample. If the degree of light-transmitting capacity is low, the rays can penetrate only the uppermost layers of the sample. The heat conductivity of the sample dictates the degree to which the heat can be transmitted to the under- lying layers.
