One of the original reasons for the introduction of machines was the difficulty of doing repeatable tests by hand. For example "hygiene" on all glassware has to be perfect as a single finger print can send you off scale. The machines self clean themselves and as importantly their working fluid. Get a bigger tank!

Dimensions, in inches, are 21 x 24. Is there an Omegameter-like instrument, or another model of Omegameter, that can accommodate such a large panel? One of our people suggested 'washing' the panel, a la the IPC test method for ROSE, and putting the solution into the Omega meter. How well would that work? Any other ideas? Thanks....
