Site Requirements
Site Requirements
Before the system is installed, the installation site should be
prepared as follows:
Fume Hood/
Ventilation
System
The system must be either connected to a
ventilation system using the exhaust outlet at the
rear of the system or placed in a well-ventilated
fume hood or an equivalent enclosure to reduce
the risk of exposure to harmful solvent vapors.
The ventilation system or fume hood must be
capable of exhausting 1 m3/min (35.3 ft3/min).
Connection: The exhaust hose supplied with
the system is 3.8 meters (12.5 feet) and has a
50.8 mm (2") inner diameter.
Weight and
Dimensions
The total weight of the package including the
system is 20 kg (44 lbs). Use suitable lifting
equipment when moving the package.
The fume hood or bench must be able to support
the weight of the system. The system weighs
17 kg (37.5 lbs) when the water bath is empty and
maximum 29 kg (63.9 lbs) when full with deionized
water, rack, and tubes.
The dimensions of the system are (W x D x H):
400 x 400 x 390 mm (15.7" x 15.7" x 15.4")
including the hinges at the sides and the exhaust
outlet at the rear. Note that the height with the lid
open is 590 mm (23.2").
Leave a minimum distance of 30 mm (1.2")
between the front of the system and any solid
objects. The system requires this clearance for
proper evacuation of solvent vapors.

Installation of TurboVap®LV
Fill the Water Bath
1. Open the lid of the TurboVap LV system and pour deionized
water into the water bath until the level reaches the MIN
level marked on the water bath; see Figure 2A. This should
be about 4.5 liters.
2. Before using a TurboVap LV multi rack (sold separately), it has
to be set up for the tube type that you wish to use. Set the
height adjustment bars to correspond with the length of your
tubes using the adjustment handles on both ends of each row.
Note: There is a 2.5 mm unit graduated scale on both sides
of the rack to help you with the height adjustment.
3. Fill the TurboVap LV multi rack with empty sample tubes in
all positions except one.
4. Using the handles built into the multi rack, gently lower the
rack with empty tubes into the water bath.
5. Place a funnel (not supplied) in the empty rack position and
carefully add more deionized water up to the initial liquid
level of your samples, but not higher than just below the
blue water bath top cover (
see Figure 2B) . Remove the funnel.
6. The system is supplied with the Aqua Stabil water treatment
(P/N 415656). Add an appropriate amount of water treatment,
per the recommendation on the back of the bottle.

Adjust the TurboVap®LV Manifold
1. If using the TurboVap LV multi rack with 24 positions, plug the
nozzles that are not in use using nozzle plugs (see Figure 3A).
2. Adjust the nozzles for the selected rack. To avoid broken
tubes, we recommend the following procedure:
a. Ensure that all nozzles are as far to the left as possible.
b. Close the lid and adjust one nozzle row so that the
nozzles are as far to the right as possible without
touching the sides of the tubes.
c. If using rows with different sized tubes, adjust each
additional row appropriately. If using the same size tube
in all rows, open the lid and adjust the other nozzle rows
into the same position using the engraved adjustment
lines on the manifold (see Figure 3B).
Note: It is important that the nozzles are adjusted correctly
to generate a vortex shearing action, which contributes
to faster evaporation, and to prevent broken tubes and
samples potentially leaking into the water bath.

Installation
» The system must be unpacked and installed
as described in this document.
» Follow regional safety practices when handling
and moving shipping boxes and containers,
and when moving the system.
» The total weight of the package including the
system is 20 kg (44 lbs). Use suitable lifting
equipment when moving the package.
» The system consists partly of glass. Exercise caution
when unpacking the system. If glass was broken during
transportation, please contact Biotage 1-Point Support.
» The system must be either connected to a ventilation
system using the exhaust outlet at the rear of the system
or placed in a well-ventilated fume hood or an equivalent
enclosure to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful
solvent vapors. The ventilation system or fume hood
must be capable of exhausting 1 m3/min (35.3 ft3/min).
» Use only an exhaust hose supplied by Biotage. To avoid
excessive pressure drop, it is important to use an exhaust
hose with the appropriate length and internal diameter.
» Do not connect the system to an electrical supply that is not
in accordance with the system’s electrical specifications;
see the rating plate located at the rear of the system.
» To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shock, the system must
be electrically grounded (earthed). Use only a power cord
supplied by Biotage. The plug should only be connected
to a grounded outlet as per local and national regulations.
Keep the mains plug easily accessible in case the system
needs to be disconnected quickly from mains power.
» Ensure that the voltage selector switch on the right
side of the system is set to the correct voltage.
» To avoid injury to yourself or damage to the
system, do not exceed the maximum inlet
pressure of 9 bar (0.9 MPa, 130 PSI).
» Always connect inert gas such as nitrogen to the gas inlet.
» Ensure that the power cord and any cables, hoses,
and tubing connected to the system cannot come
in contact with chemicals. Corrosives and solvents
can degrade the cord/cable insulation and dissolve
the hoses and tubing. There is a risk of electric
shock, fire, and/or equipment damage.
» Do not place any equipment or bottles
on top of or above the system.
» External fire protection should be installed according to
local regulations for equipment operating unattended.
Operation
» Use the system only for its intended purpose, as described
in the user documentation delivered with the system and
user documentation available at www.biotage.com. If
the system is used in a manner not specified by Biotage,
the safety features of the system may be impaired.
» The temperature of the water bath and the drain
connector can be up to 90°C. Avoid contact.
» Always ensure that the drain tube is inserted into a
waste container of a suitable size before connecting
the drain tube to the system’s drain port.
» Do not operate the system without water in the water bath.
» Never operate a damaged system.
» When using flammable solvents, read and follow
your local static discharge codes of practice and
available national recommended procedures for the
avoidance of hazards due to static electricity.
» If not in contradiction with your local practices and procedures,
wear antistatic protective clothing and footwear, or stand on
an anti-static floor mat when using flammable solvents. If you
cannot take the usual anti-static measures, touch a grounded
metal object before opening the lid on the system to discharge
any static electricity that may have accumulated on your body.
» The nozzles have sharp edges and may have come into
contact with harmful sample residues. Avoid contact.
» If spilling sample or solvent into the water bath, immediately
clean the water bath as described in the user manual.
» Exhaust solvent vapors exiting the system may be
hazardous and can contaminate the surrounding air.
Maintain proper ventilation and consult the safety
data sheets (SDS) for all of the solvents used.
» The system operates using electricity, which can
introduce additional hazards with certain solvents
if not properly connected, vented, or set up with
recommended manufacturer approved settings.
» Follow all generally-accepted lab safety procedures
and applicable laws and regulations.
» Always follow local and national safety
regulations related to storage, handling and
disposal of chemicals, samples and waste.

Safety
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
» Follow all maintenance instructions in the “Maintenance”
chapter of the user manual (P/N 414662).
» Always turn off the system, unplug the power cord, and let
the water bath cool down before performing maintenance.
» Always empty the water bath as described in the
user manual before moving the system.
» There are no user serviceable parts inside the system.
Covers and safety shields may only be removed by an
authorized Biotage service engineer. Potential electrical
hazard exists due to high voltage circuits inside the system.
» The power cord should be inspected periodically
and replaced if damaged or altered. Use only
a power cord supplied by Biotage.
» Use only exact replacement fuses supplied
by Biotage. Incorrect fuses create a potential
fire hazard and risk of personal injury.

working, take the necessary precautions to avoid
exposure to potentially harmful solvent vapors,
remove any samples, and then turn off the system
by disconnecting the power cord from the power
outlet and contact Biotage 1-Point Support.
