Degassing

Most solid materials absorb moisture and other contaminants when exposed to the atmosphere. The sample must be clean when an analysis is performed. The degas process heats the sample with an inert gas flowing over it to remove the moisture and contaminants.

Samples can be degassed one at a time using the Start Single Degas option or simultaneously using the Start Multiple Degas option. Select the file for each degas port to be used, then load the sample into the sample tube and install the sample tube on the degas port. Allow the sample to cool before transferring to the analysis port to start the analysis.
