9 Drying parameters
The equipment can be used to store complete drying programs with drying
parameters individually adapted to the sample.
Four drying modes (Standard drying, Step drying, Slow drying and Rapid drying) and
two switch-off criteria (Time-controlled and Automatic) can be selected.
Further parameters such as drying time, drying temperature and
∆M (constant weight
loss per 30 seconds) should be set depending on the modes, see table below.
