If your instrument is fitted with the Compression Gland Cover you can use this system or you can also use the standard system of various sized gaskets, inserts and insertion tools. The Compression Gland Cover allows the user to seal samples up to 1/4 inch in diameter quickly using the following method:
You have by now a cut sample and are ready to introduce it to the Compression Gland Cover
Insert the cut end of the sample from the bottom part of chamber lid
Slide sample through hole so that it sticks out other side of lid
Sample should pass through lid by about 1/16” to 1/4”
Twist the Compression Screw so that the rubber squeezes and hold the sample (do not overtighten as it can damage sample)
Slide leafy side of sample into chamber
Push down and turn to lock lid onto chamber
