AccuPyc II 1340 Preparing for Analysis
June 2013 4-3
5. Weigh the cup and sample and record the weight. Subtract the empty sample cup weight
from the sample cup plus sample weight to determine the sample weight. (If volume only
is to be measured, you may skip this step.)
6. Remove the cell chamber cap, place the sample cup (with sample) into the cell chamber,
then replace the cap.
It is best not to lay the cap down while loading the sample. Immediately replace the cap
when the sample is loaded. This will prevent particles from accumulating on the greased
surface (refer to Handling System Components, page 2-9 for guidelines on handling
system components).
7. If you have a temperature-controlled AccuPyc, perform the following steps before
proceeding with Starting an Analysis in the next section.
a. Turn on the bath circulator and specify the temperature you wish to use for your
analysis. (Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for instructions on operating the bath
circulator.)
b. Allow the temperature to stabilize to the set temperature. Observe the temperature
reading on the fourth line of the display.
