If your Knauer Measuring Instruments display 'OUT OF RANGE', it is usually due to a malfunction of the thermistor. Contact the Technical Support.
Why Knauer Measuring Instruments doesn't freeze?
If your Knauer Measuring Instruments do not freeze, it means that no sample crystallization took place after the activation of the stirring wire. See “Non-freezing of the sample” on page 28.
What to do if the sample tube is scratched or contaminated in Knauer Measuring Instruments?
Premature freezing of the sample in Knauer Measuring Instruments can occur if the sample tube or thermistor is scratched or contaminated, acting as crystallization nuclei. Use a new sample tube and carefully clean the thermistor. Only use sample tubes obtained from or recommended by KNAUER. Degas the sample solution by ultrasound if it's saturated with air or gases. Ensure the device's air inlets and outlets are unobstructed if the cooling rate is insufficient. Use the exact required sample volume (50 – 150 ?l) if too much sample solution is in the sample tube.
What to do if there is too little sample solution in the sample tube of Knauer Measuring Instruments?
To resolve issues with too little sample solution in the sample tube of Knauer Measuring Instruments, use the exact required sample volume: 50 – 150 ?l. This prevents a very cold zone from developing above the solution on the sample tube wall, which causes self-freezing of the sample.
What to do if Knauer Measuring Instruments shows OUT OF RANGE error?
Contact the Technical Support, as the 'OUT OF RANGE' error usually indicates a malfunction of the thermistor in Knauer Measuring Instruments.
