Mode ()
Display shows the current operation mode. Mode is controlled
by pressing the blue button. There are five evaporation modes
available on TurboVap II:
» Manual: Evaporate until the user presses the Stop button.
» Time: Evaporate for a set period of time.
» End-Point: Evaporate until the end-point sensors
detect a liquid level of 0.2 or 0.7 mL depending on the
glassware. Each sample tube is controlled individually.
» End-Point + Time: Evaporate for a set period of time after the
sensor detects a liquid level of 0.2 or 0.7 mL depending on
the glassware. Each sample tube is controlled individually.
» Method: There are several options. For more information,
see “Define Methods” in the TurboVap®User Manual.
Note that the two end-point detection modes are only enabled
when a TurboVap II end-point rack has been connected to the
system’s AUX port.
Time ()
Display shows the set evaporation time (when in Time mode)
or the amount of time the evaporation will continue in a sample
tube after its liquid level passes below the sensor (when in
End-Point + Time mode). (Not shown in other modes.)
Gas Flow ()
Display shows the current and set gas flow in L/min. Gas flow is
controlled by pressing the blue button.

Daily Operation
Follow the steps below to operate the system. For detailed
instructions, see the TurboVap®User Manual.
Prepare the System
The system should always be turned on when a sample tube is
inserted so that the exhaust fan can remove solvent vapors.
1. Check the incoming gas supply for sufficient reserve.
2. Ensure that the water in the bath is at an appropriate level.
3. Check/set the mode of operation.
4. Check/set the water bath temperature. Red indicator in the
Bath Temp field indicates bath heating. When the target
water bath temperature has been reached, the user will be
notified by a dialog on the touch screen.
5. Check/set the gas flow.
6. Open the lid and either load the sample tubes into the rack
when positioned inside the water bath or gently lower the
rack with the sample tubes into the water bath. The latter is
not possible if using a rack with end-point sensors.
Note: If using a rack with end-point sensors, ensure the
sensor connection box is connected to the AUX port on the
right side of the system.
7. Close the lid.
Start the Evaporation Process
1. Set the evaporation time if necessary.
2. Enable the nozzles for the rack positions that contain sample
tubes by pressing the Edit button in the Nozzle Setup field.
3. Press the Start button.
Stop/Pause the Evaporation Process
To pause the evaporation (stop and continue) for all tubes,
press Pause or open the lid. To continue operation, press
Resume or close the lid.
To stop the evaporation, press the Stop button. To stop the
evaporation process for an individual sample tube, press Edit in
the Nozzle Setup field and disable the nozzle for that tube.
Remove the Sample
Quick removal of a completed tube is necessary since highly
volatile compounds can be lost if allowed to sit for an extended
period.
Shut Down
When the system is no longer in use, leave the lid open to keep
moisture from accumulating on the inside cover. Turn off the
power (unless using sleep mode) and the gas supply (if desired).
