Sample changes
Opal releases molecular water at low pressure, inducing changes on all bands. However, this dehydration is not systematic.
Temperature
20.0 $\pm$ 3.0 $^{\circ}C$
Type
ambient air
Fluid temperature

Comments
The low-pressure (stabilized between 7.2 and 8.3 mbar) was maintained for a minimal period of 3 hours (for samples with no reaction visible in the spectra) or until steady state is reached and visible in the spectra (up to 23 hours).
