Note 

 

A  small  amount  of  sample  may  result  in  inaccurate  measurement  with some 
samples. Meanwhile, too much sample liquid would make it longer to adjust the 
temperature and to complete the measurement. 

 

3

 

 

Close sample cover 

 

 

 

 

 

Note 

 

Close sample cover securely to shut out incoming rays for correct measurement.
