4. When the required amount of time has
passed, return the HANDLE to its upmost
position*.
CAUTION
Leaving the HANDLE down for too long
could damage the sample plate and
degrade the seal quality.
5. Using appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), remove the sealed plate
from the unit and review the seal integrity.
WARNING
The sample plate and film/foil may remain
hot for several seconds after being
removed from the unit.
*The time taken to successfully seal a sample plate
may vary with both plate and film/foil types. For
optimum seal integrity, the sealing time may need
to be adjusted empirically to achieve the desired
seal quality.
