AquaLab 8 SAMPLE PREPARATION
High-water activity samples that are warmer than the chamber tem-
perature can cause condensation inside the measuring chamber, which
adversely affect subsequent readings. A warning message appears
(Sample too hot) if the sample temperature is more than 4
◦
C above
chamber temperature. If this message appears, immediately remove
the sample from the instrument, place a lid on the cup, and allow
the sample to cool to within 4
◦
C of the instrument before measuring.
Samples that are lower than 4
◦
C of the instrument temperature
causes long read times. The sample temperature must be within one
or two degrees of the chamber temperature before you can take fast
and accurate readings.
Note: The device fan can blow powdery substances, so be sure not
to overfill the sample cup and verify the cleanliness of the sample
chamber before reading a new sample.
