Sample Clamp/Port-Forward Stand
The port-forward stand holds the instrument securely in the port-forward position and the sample clamp allows samples to be held flat at the sample port when the instrument is in this orientation. To attach the stand to the ColorFlex, lay the instrument on its side and install the two screws through the stand into the bottom of the instrument using the Allen wrench provided. To use the sample clamp, pull the spring-loaded clamp away from the sample port, insert the sample, and gently release the clamp.
Port Inserts (45°/0° instruments only)
Port inserts with various-sized openings may be purchased and placed at the reflectance port to allow for a smaller area of view than the standard size. Remove the standard port insert by pulling it out of the port insert retainer. Replace it with the special port insert. Make sure that the flat portion of the insert is facing outward with the beveled portion toward the interior of the sensor. Then standardize the instrument. Any change in port size must be followed by standardization on both the black glass and the white tile.
