INTRODUCTION
S-EVAP-RB TM
Instrument Description
The S-EVAP-RB Solvent Evaporation System is designed for general evaporation and /
or concentration of analytical or environmental samples in a variety of glassware
configurations to meet the needs of specific methods under controlled and reproducible
conditions.
The S-EVAP-RB system features rapid solvent evaporation with solvent vapor recovery.
Solvent recoveries can exceed 96% by volume under ideal conditions. The system may be
used with cold tap water or a recirculating chiller system. The digital controlled water bath
provides even uniform heating without scaulding final samples. The parallel water manifold
system provides even cooling water to each of the condensers. The rotary water manifold
allows unlimited instrument rotation for front loading without condenser tubing wrapping about
the instrument.

OPERATION
S-EVAP-RB TM
Planning and Preparation
It is important to thoroughly understand the procedures and equipment operation prior to
the use of the equipment. High speed solvent evaporation requires a balance of sample volume,
bath temperature, cooling water, correct setup, and adjustment. Improper use can impair
performance, contaminate samples, or result in sample loss. Environmental and operating
conditions are also important, examples include use of water or oil based heating media, glass
cleaning techniques, and sample handling procedures. If you are unfamiliar with the use of the
S-EVAP System or are working with a new procedure, it is recommended that a trial run
be made using a sample blank to determine optimal operating conditions.
The S-EVAP System is designed to handle multiple samples simultaneously up to the capacity
of the equipment (8 or 10 positions).
CAUTION!!!
Samples containing ether based, fuel, munitions, or other extremely flammable or
explosive materials, compounds, or residues should not be used in this equipment unless
the heating unit is equipped with the TYPE -Z Purged Intrinsically Safe Bath Option.
Even equipped with this option, extreme care and caution must be exercised when using
these materials. The equipment must be placed in a location with adequate ventilation and
safe guards, recommendations include fire suppression system, shatter proof glass, and
adequate shielding for personnel. No other electronic devices should be in the same location
unless they are either Z-Purge protected or are explosion proof. No flammable solvents should
be stored in this location. Materials capable of forming peroxides prior to or during
evaporation must be stabilized with sufficient anti-oxidant or they should not be used.
Under no circumstances should this equipment be used with materials capable of auto
ignition below 150 Degrees Centigrade including materials containing peroxides.
Please Contact Organomation Associates Technical Support if you have any questions
concerning the use of TYPE-Z Purged equipment or questionable materials in OAI
equipment.
