    Analysis 6.1 Working procedure D5.0006 DANGER Danger caused by scalding by samples Sample material – Damage to the respiratory tracts, skin and/or mucous membranes. – Radiation damage. • The user must himself assess the risk emanating from a sample during the analysis.
  • Page 31 • Never reach into the moving furnace. With the CS-580A (Helios), a wide variety of materials can be analyzed. The analysis methods are therefore diverse. As different materials burn differently, the chosen sample weight, the possible accelerators and the sensitivity of the infrared cells will all be different. The user of the device can receive from us free advice regarding the different methods involved for different materials.

  • Page 32: Procedure Of Carrying Out Analyses With Autoloader, Optional

    A series of analyses can be run with the CS-580A (Helios) analyzer. To do this, repeat steps 1 to 7 for every sample in the series, while each crucible is placed as next after the last one placed on the loader.

  • Page 33: Procedure Of Carrying Out Analyses With Manual Loading Of The Sample

    • If possible, let the crucibles cool down to room temperature before disposing them. Although the CS-580A (Helios) is equipped with an autoloader and normally analyses are carried out using this autoloader, it is possible to load the sample manually for analysis.
