SMART 6 Method Development
To ensure accurate and repeatable results on the ORACLE, an accurate drying step is required prior to the analysis.
When using the SMART 6 for a rapid moisture analysis, it is important to optimize the drying parameters before
using the ORACLE for fat analysis. Many of the parameter adjustments can be found in the SMART 6 Manual,
however the following steps are specific to users with a SMART 6 connected to an ORACLE.
1. After choosing to create a new method and setting
the Test type to Moisture/Fat, two ORACLE specific
settings will appear
- Cooling refers to the SMART 6 running the fans
after the moisture analysis to cool the sample
to a set temperature before removing the
sample from the SMART. Cooling will
automatically be set to off, and should only be
turned on and adjusted at the request of a
CEM Applications Specialist.
- The ORACLE settings are specific to the
QuikPrep integrated heater at the top of the
magnet. The standard settings for most
products is 70 °C for 30 seconds. Similar to
cooling, this should only be adjusted at the
request of a CEM Applications Specialist.
