5.2.1.1. Drying program
MB62 contains five types of drying programs:
• Standard
• Fast
• Step (1)
• Step (2)
• Ramp
An appropriate drying program should be selected depending on the feature of the sample

Description
The standard drying program is the
most common and is sufficient for
most samples.
In this drying profile the target
temperature is reached and sustained
until the end of the measurement.
Fast drying program is suitable for
samples with higher moisture content,
as it relies on available moisture to
prevent charring of the sample.
In this drying profile, the target
temperature is exceeded by 40%
(max 230 ℃) for the first 3 minutes,
then reverts to the target temperature
which is sustained until the end of the
measurement.
