Once measured, the sample can be discharged through the drain outlet, which is again
controlled by the software. This outlet is compatible with most aqueous and non-
aqueous dispersants.
Refer to the Mastersizer 3000 User Manual for advice on sample addition.
Note: The lower ‘to cell’ sample pipe has yellow identifier marks, the upper
‘from cell’ sample pipe has blue identifier marks.
