1Introduction / Precautions / Setting up
1.1 Function of the Spray Cabinet 2
The spray cabinet is designed to remove excess spray mist
when spraying a thin layer chromatogram with reagents.
It protects laboratory personnel against solvent vapors and
poisonous or irritating Sprays. This-is a contribution to la-
boratory safety.
There is no deflection of the spray jet before it reaches the
chromatogram. The spray cabinet is also very useful for dry-
ing a freshly developed plate, regardless of whether the pro-
cess is accelerated with a hair drier or not.
1.2 Precautions
•Please read this operating manual before starting the in-
stallation! This manual contains information and warnings
the user has to follow to ensure reliable operation of the

•If liquids penetrate the inside of the instrument, the pow-
er has to be disconnected immediately. Small amounts of
liquid can be wiped off and/or dried by means of a hair-
dryer, with larger amounts of liquid a service technician
has to be called. A test of functionality has to be per-
formed in all cases
•Carry out all safety checks and the preventive mainte-
nance as recommended by the manufacturer in order to
assure your personal safety and the full functionality of
the instrument. Have an authorized service specialist per-
form any service not described by this manual
•See original manufacturers' manuals for further safety da-
ta on third party equipment supplied with the system

•The safety of any system incorporate with the equipment
is the responsibility of the assembler of the system
•This symbol indicates that this equipment must not be
disposed of as unsorted municipal waste but is to be col-
lected separately as electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE-Directive 2002/96/EC). To properly recycle the in-
strument or parts of it you are requested to send the
equipment back to the distributor, producer or an ade-
quate collection system at the end of its life. This will have
potential effects on the environment and human health
•The use of the instrument without adequate ventilation to
outside air may constitute a health hazard depending on
the substances in use
•Avoid bending the waste air hose too sharply as that
could impair suction
•Note that PVC can be corroded by certain organic solvents
1.3 Setting up of the instrument
The Instrument consists of:
⇒housing (1) with an easy to replace radial fan (2) driven
by motor(3) outside the fume duct
⇒tray (4) with 3 rests to lock the plate support. The tray
collects all liquids and is easy to clean

Instruction Manual, July 2016 Page 4
⇒perforated plate support (5) which is fixed in the upright
position by the 3 rests of the tray
⇒pins (6) which can be inserted into every hole of the perfo-
rated plate support. This allows every plate size to be po-
sitioned optimally for ' spraying.

2Installation
2.1 Installation of the instrument
Stand the housing with its opening facing you on a suitable
surface. Fume hood and power supply should be within
reach of the waste air hose and the power cable.
Slide waste air hose (7) over connecting sleeve (8) and secure
it by a clamp. Connect the other end to the exhaust hood.
Avoid bending the hose sharply as that could impair suction.
Compare the marked instrument voltage with the voltage of
your power supply. Connect the spray cabinet to your power
supply by means of the cable supplied.
2.2 Preparation of the instrument
Slide tray (4) at the bottom of the housing part way in.
Stand perforated plate support (5) between the 3 rests of
the tray and tilt it a little backwards (self-locking).
Insert 3 pins (6) into the holes of the plate support to suit
your spraying position.
Stand your TLC plate on the pins.
Slide the tray as far it goes into the housing.
Switch on the fan using the switch on the side of the hous-
ing (gentle sucking noise). The green Pilot lamp burns as
long as the fan blows.
The TLC Spray Cabinet 2 is now ready to be used for spray-
ing.
2.3 Spraying a TLC Plate
Spray your TLC plate according to the instructions for your
sprayer or as your own experience shows.
On completion of spraying always allow a little extra time
(about 10 minutes) to elapse before switching off the fan,
especially after spraying corrosive reagents.

3Maintenance / Cleaning / Technical Data
3.1 Maintenance
There is no special maintenance to be carried out.
If the fan motor is defective, it must be replaced by a Ser-
vice technician.
3.2 Cleaning
The instrument's design allows easy cleaning. Regular
cleaning greatly prolongs its working life. Disconnect the
power supply before cleaning.
Housing and fan lining allow any accumulating liquid to
drain into the tray. Always clean the tray having finished
spraying.
Periodically clean the interior part of the housing, the plate
Support, the pins and if necessary the fan (remove waste
air hose).
Use regular laboratory cleaning agents and proceed as rec-
ommended there.
3.3 Decontamination
If the instrument needs to be decontaminated, follow the re-
spective safety regulations/guidelines if applicable.
