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. If using the TurboVap LV Multi Rack with 24 positions
(P/N 415129), ensure that half the nozzles are plugged using
the supplied nozzle plugs and that the appropriate manifold
is selected in the Settings view. For more information, see
the TurboVap®User Manual.
Note: In a partially filled row, nozzles can be plugged.
7. Open the lid and place the rack with the sample tubes into
the water bath.
8. If necessary, adjust the nozzle row position so that the
nozzles are as far to the right as possible without touching
the side of the tubes. For more information, see the
TurboVap®User Manual.
9. Close the lid.
Start the Evaporation Process
1. Check/set the evaporation time.
2. Select the rows 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 row, press Edit
in the Nozzle Setup field and disable the nozzles for that row.
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).
