Degassing the device using syringes
If you have time put the tensio shafts
in deionized water over night.
Then the degassing takes less time.
No water must enter the shaft from
above, otherwise air will be locked
in the pores.
Note
Do not touch the ceramic of the tensio shafts with bare fingers. Grease
or soap reduces the hydrophilic characteristics of the ceramic.
The water in the tensio shaft evaporates to the ambient air.
Therefore cover the tensio shaft tip with a silicone cap.
