6 Measuring NOTICE Samples with a moderate tendency to corrode borosilicate glass, such as strong alkali solutions (e.g. caustic soda), can be measured with the DMA M. • However, take care to remove such samples immediately after measurement, and rinse the measuring cells thoroughly.
6 Measuring 6.3 Performing Measurements 5. Mount a valve or hose clamp at the outlet silicone hose. 6. Close the valve and fill your sample into the To speed up measurements funnel. • Automatic sample naming: See General 7. Fill the measuring cell by carefully opening the Software Functions Manual, section 6.3.
