Rice Lake MA160 Sartorius Moisture Analyzer - Manual (Page 16)

t t Use an appropriate tool for grinding the sample .
Use a disposable sample pan:
t t Use only Sartorius disposable sample pans (inner diameter of 90 mm) .
Reusing sample pans leads to poor repeatability of results:
– After cleaning, sample residues can still remain on the pan .
– Residues from cleaning agents can evaporate during the next moisture
analysis .
– Scratches and grooves made during cleaning result in damage that forms
points of attack for hot, rising air produced during the drying process (more
pronounced buoyancy) .
