Detailed Measurement
Measuring Samples by Raising Temperature gradually
(SLOW: Slow drying mode)
Slow drying mode raises the temperature more gradually than measurements in normal
conditions, taking about five minutes from the time the measurement begins until the
temperature reaches the preset level. As the ending condition, you can select either the amount
of change in moisture content per 30 seconds or the time. When the amount of change in
moisture content per 30 seconds drops below the set value, or the time reaches the set value, the
measurement terminates automatically. Set the temperature for rapid drying, and ∆M or time as
the ending condition.
Samples that tend to change in composition in rapid temperature shift may burn dry, making
it difficult to measure their moisture contents properly. Slow drying mode can set the heater
temperature to rise gradually. This mode is suitable for measuring samples such as protein
and high molecular compound that change largely when heated in a high temperature or rapid
temperature rise.
