Operation Manual, Version G
NOTE
• Exact cleaning procedures tailored to the indiviudal sample composition have to be developed by
the customer.
• When you analyze liquids of medium or high viscosity, sample residues may accumulate in the
measuring gap and all other gaps between the adapter and the probe. In this case, remove the
transflectance adapter from the probe head to clean it thoroughly in order to avoid a sample
cross-contamination during the next measurement.

performance check of the instrument as part of a service contract.
To start NADIA select Start > Programs > Buchi NIRSolutions > NIRWare > Nadia
