Injecting a sample
1. Using the supplied piston
operated pipettor, insert the tip
into a vial of test sample and
pull the measured amount
into the pipettor. Be sure no
bubbles exist in the oil or
results may be erratic. Refer
to pipettor instruction guide
for more information. The
pipettor volume setting should
be set to 450 ~ 500 μL
(0.45 - 0.50mL)
2. Place the pipettor at a 45°
angle into the sample/ solvent
injection port, located on
top of the instrument, and gently release the fluid in one easy operation
so that the entire sample is smoothly dispensed into the tube without
introducing bubbles.
The Ready to Test Screen contains a START button. Pressing the button is
optional as the injected sample will automatically be detected. The button is
useful for higher viscosity fluids that might take a while to trip the top sensor.
The run status indicator lamp will turn off during testing. When the viscosity
measurement is complete, the run status indicator lamp will blink and the
viscosity result will be displayed.
