Port Insert For Capsules; Sample Cup Set For Translucent Liquids - HunterLab LabScan XE User Manual

2. Standardize the instrument. Any change in port size must be followed by standardization on
both the black glass and the white tile. If you have the VSI option, be sure to select the correct
area of view in your software.
When using a glass port insert, standardize the instrument with the glass in place. However, you should
check measurements of the green and white tile and perform any other diagnostics without the glass
insert. Difference measurements using a glass port insert will be more accurate than absolute
measurements.

Port Insert for Capsules

This port insert has a 19 mm x 6 mm oblong opening and is designed for measuring elongated samples
such as capsules. This option requires use of the 1/4-inch VSI option for optimum results. The port
insert autodetection feature does not apply to this port insert.

Sample Cup Set for Translucent Liquids

This set provides a device for holding powders, pellets, granules, and translucent liquids at the sample
port. It includes a 2.5-inch (64-mm) glass sample cup, plastic ring and ceramic disk set, special port
plate insert, and sample cup cover. The ring and disk set are provided for translucent liquids, transparent
liquids, and semi-solids where the path length is related to color concentration and must be fixed. First,
the sample cup port plate should be installed to hold the sample cup in the proper position. Place the
ring inside the sample cup and fill the cup with sample to a level above the ring. Then place the ceramic
disk on top of the sample (until it rests on top of the ring) with the white portion facing the sample.
Cover with the sample cup cover to exclude external light. Measure the sample at the sample port
through the glass bottom of the sample cup with the instrument in the port-up orientation. Use of the
VSI option is recommended for translucent products so that an illuminated area smaller than the port
size may be used.
