Samples must be tested using the appropriate sensor to get reliable
results. Using an incorrect sensor can lead to false negatives and false
positives. Use the specifications below to choose the correct sensor for
your sample.
Placing the included calibration disk behind the sample during testing
can enhance the reliability and allows the sensor to test thinner samples.
The column indicating "with Cal Disk" is the minimum testable thickness
when using testing with the calibration disk behind the sample.
