The measuring liquid in the supply unit only comes in contact with mate-
rials that are chemically resistant to a large extent. Certain organic liquids
or saturated inorganic salt solutions can be used temporarily without
damaging the instrument.
Please note that the measuring liquid comes into contact with stainless
steel, glass, PTFE, Viton (FPM or FKM) and silicon hoses.
When measuring samples which are incompatible with water, a suitable
liquid with a high boiling point can be selected from the following list:
n Monovalent, bivalent or trivalent alcohols e.g. isopropanol
n Benzines (e.g. white spirit),
n Mineral and organic oils (e.g. petroleum and soy bean oil, nut oil,
olive oil, Miglyol)
n Saturated solutions of inorganic salts
Samples, which are available in oil (e.g. oils like machine oil), do not
always need to be measured in oil. They can often be measured in white
spirit.

DANGER!
Before using other measuring liquids, consult Fritsch
Gmbh in advance or call up the list of suitable chemi-
cals on our homepage www.fritsch-sizing.de under the
corresponding wet dispersion unit.

using the SOP "Clean / Fill".

6.1.2 Dispersion of barely wettable samples

Hydrophobic samples can be dispersed despite their water-repellent
properties, if they are first mixed to a paste with a liquid tenside (e.g.
Dusazin) and then dispersed by constant agitation.
Agglomerates are also dispersed more easily and faster in an external
ultrasonic cleaner, as the whole sample is constantly exposed to the
ultrasound. In the circuit of the dispersion unit, each particle of the
sample is only located briefly in the range of the ultrasound, because the
sample is constantly circulated.

- 33 -
 Using the device

In the case of soil samples, for example, a 0.1 - 0.5 % sodium pyrophos-
phate solution is recommended as a dispersing aid. The sample prepared
in this way in the external ultrasonic cleaner can be measured in pure
water.

6.1.3 Measurement of hardly soluble samples

Samples which dissolve in the measuring liquid over time can be meas-
ured in the ANALYSETTE 22 NeXT. We recommend preparing a saturated
measuring liquid. The particle size cannot be changed by dissolving - so
the measuring results remain constant. (However the saturated solution
must be filtered before use, as it may still contain undissolved contents.)

A saturated solution is formed when solids are added to

liquid which dissolve in the liquid below a certain con-
centration. Once the solid no longer dissolves in the
liquid and possibly sediments, the liquid is saturated.

For very expensive products, it may be worth changing to other meas-

uring liquids in which this dissolving behaviour does not arise.

7.1 Ultrasonic box

1 Mains connection
2 To wet dispersion unit (To Bath)
3 From measuring cell (From Cell)

NOTICE!
Do not operate wet dispersion unit in combination with
the ultrasonic box without fluid.

The ultrasonic box has a power of up to 50 watts and a frequency of 50

Hz (230V) and 60 Hz (115V). It converts electrical energy into ultrasound
waves that disperse in the liquid and result in so-called cavitation. Cavita-
tion both destructs agglomerates and degasses the liquid.
During degassing the cavitation noise changes; loud degassing noises
dwindle at the end of the degassing procedure and the instrument
appears to work more quietly. Lower noise levels do not imply reduced
ultrasound power but rather the end of the degassing procedure.

DANGER!
Explosion hazard, combustible substances
– Do not use highly flammable and flammable liquids
such as alcohols, ketones and benzines etc. or any
chemicals, which contain or could break down into
chloride ions (some disinfectants, household deter-
gents and washing-up liquids), in the dispersion
unit. See Ä Chapter 5.1.2 ‘Selecting the liquids’
on page 28.
– After prolonged use the liquid warms up, therefore
check the temperature.
– Do not use aggressive liquids (e.g. strong acids,
concentrated salt solutions).

7.1.1 Assembly of the ultrasonic box

The ultrasonic box is attached to the wet dispersion unit as follows:
1. The extending flat headed screws have to point in the direction of
the wet dispersion unit.
2. There are holes located on the back side of the wet dispersion unit
in which the ultrasonic box is hooked into.
3. Feed the ultrasonic box with the flat headed screws through the
large holes on the back side of the dispersion unit and let the dis-
persion unit slide down.
ð The ultrasonic box is thereby attached to the wet dispersion
unit.

 Cleaning

8.3.5 Cleaning the measuring cell glasses

The measuring cell glasses are made of sapphire glass. The glasses have
an anti-reflective coating on the outside which is very soft. A scratch in
the anti-reflective coating has the same effect as a scratch in the glass
and can affect the measurement.

NOTICE!
The anti-reflective coating is very soft. Cleaning with
standard solvent-free cleaning agents can cause
scratches.
Therefore only use lens cleaning paper from the acces-
sory case.

The measuring cell glasses do not need to be removed

for cleaning. A disassembly is only necessary for an
exchange or if there is heavy soiling. Ä Chapter 9.2
‘Removing the measuring cell glasses’ on page 49

Great care must be taken when cleaning the measuring

cell glasses. The glasses must only be touched by hand
at the edges.

The following cleaning method for the measuring cell glasses has proven
successful:
1. Clean the glasses with a spray bottle, filled with alcohol, until no
more major soiling is visible. Then place optics tissue on the inside
of the glass and moisten it with alcohol so that the paper clings to
the glass surface.
2. Now to "wipe" the surface, just pull the tissue off parallel to the
surface, without pressing the tissue onto the glass.
3. You may have to repeat this wiping of the glass surface with fresh
tissue, until you can see no more soiling.
4. Then rinse the measuring cell glasses clean with the spray bottle
and dab them carefully with the dry optics tissue.

8.3.6 Flow plate

The flow plate is made of Viton and must be handled carefully! You can
rinse the flow plate under running water. Brush off any adhesive particles
very carefully with a soft brush.

8.3.8 Mounting the wet measuring cell

Once you have cleaned the parts, you have to re-install the measuring
cell.
To assemble the measuring cell, follow the same steps in reverse order:
1. Insert the flow plate. Make sure that the base body is seated prop-
erly in the measuring cell. The flow plate is positioned with 4 pins.

2. Mount the locking plate from the side and close it. Release the
eccentric tensioner and turn the rotary knob by 180°.

3. Clamp in the wet measuring cell with the latch clamp on the oppo-
site side.
