    During the digestion, each of the vessels are being monitored for temperature and the average sample temperature is used to control the MiniWAVE. If there is a significant temperature difference for one vessel either higher or lower than the other vessels for a certain time, the system will stop the digestion and identify the suspected position.
  • Page 13 To run less than 6 vessels, un-tick the check mark  for the position not being run. If running one sample the check mark should correspond to the actual sample in the rack (i.e. if sample in Position 1 un-tick all the mark except position 1.
  • Page 14 14 | In case of running 3 vessels: Vessels should be placed in the rack symmetrically (i.e. Position 1, 3 and 5 or Position 2, 4 and 6). Be sure to un-tick the samples not being placed in the rack. Version 3...
  • Page 15 In case of running 4 vessels: Vessels should be loaded symmetrically too (i.e. Positions 1, 2, 4 and 5 or Positions 2, 3, 5 and 6). Similar to the cases specified before, be sure to un-tick the empty positions. In case of running 5 vessels it is very important to un-tick the empty position.

    Calibration is used to review the calibration data, and to re-calibrate IR temperature sensor during a preventative maintenance program. The calibration is a five point calibration which is done automatically with an SCP SCIENCE calibration tool. Please refer to the Calibration instruc- tion manual to calibrate the IR (thermopile) sensors.

    They can be validated in the field with our Field pressure testing unit. It is highly recommended that Safety Caps be tested every 6 months. Safety Pressure Cap can be calibrated only by SCP SCIENCE’s trained service personnel. WARNING Cleaning the Cavity Under normal operating conditions, if a tube vents during the digestion, the fumes are typically whisked away by the exhaust blower.
