Does stained glass housing affect moisture content rate measurement?

YES it may. Through stained glass heat conduction may not be good enough to heat sample evenly, which can lead to low repeatability. One of the Mx's features is that it is easy to clean. When glass gets stained do the following: After the unit cools down remove SRA unit (glass) and clean inside with water-based or neutral detergent not with organic solvent or disposable cloth. To replace the glass refer to "how to change halogen lamps" under "maintenance" in instruction manual.
