Stable Instrument Operation

It is important to monitor the operating behavior of the Nano ITC in order to be able to recognize unusual
behavior that indicates abnormal conditions. The following guidelines are typical of normal operation.
The following table lists typical ranges of variation when the cells have been filled with degassed
deoinized water and allowed to settle with the syringe and reference needles in place, with room tempera-
ture controlled to within +/- 1 °C.
