Storage
If laboratory is not ready when the instrument arrives, the instrument must be stored in an
adequate room. Recommendations are as follows:
The storage room must be closed, dry and must have at least a cemented floor.
Temperature:
min. +2°C, max. 45°C
Humidity:
max. 80%, without condensation
The storage room must be free of dust and corrosive vapours.
The instrument must stay on its transportation pallet. This makes subsequent moves easier and
limits any vibrations.
It is very important to have good air circulation around the instrument during storage. Dust can be
cleaned, but humidity is harmful.
