* The density (%TS, consistency) determination resolution 

stated above is defined due to manufacturing limitation to 
make reagents with stable distribution and a minimum 
difference of fluid density (consistency). 

<Notice> 

1. Install a sample tap near the LQ500 as close as 

possible to get an accurate density (%TS, 
consistency) measurement using the LQ500. 

2. Take several samples in rapid sequence for 

more accurate density (%TS, consistency) 
measurement with less human error factors.
