There are several operation procedures in this system, please follow the steps below to set up
the flow path you need. For cleaning procedure and solution for capsules, please refer to the
instruction manuals of capsules.
(1) Cleaning
Figure 1
a. Please clean the system with the following steps before first use. Use the cleaning
tubing to connect the feed and retentate gauge mounting blocks, as shown in
figure 1.
b. Pour the cleaning solution into the reservoir and cap it with the lid kit.
c. Set the three-way stopcocks and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 1.
d. Turn on the pump, increase the speed slowly to 50 rpm.
◆Please check if there is any leakage. Make sure to fasten all the connectors.
e. Let the system circulate for 15~30 minutes, and turn off the pump.
6. Operation

13
(2) Draining and Collection
Figure 2
a. When the pump is stopped, setting the three-way stopcocks as shown in figure 2.
b. Open one of the lid caps on the reservoir lid, the solution would flow through the
recovery tubing to the container automatically by gravity.
Figure 3

14
c. If you need to collect the solution in the system after experiment, please turn off
the pump first and adjust the three-way stopcocks, then exchange the capsule to
the cleaning tubing as shown in figure 3.
Figure 4
d. Turn on the pump to collect all the solution into the reservoir and turn off the
pump after collection. The flow path refers to figure 4.
Figure 5

15
e. Setting the three-way stopcock at the bottom of the reservoir to adjust the flow
path as shown in figure 5. Open one of the lid caps on the reservoir lid, the
solution would drain automatically by gravity.
Figure 6
f. To drain the solution completely, please set the three-way stopcock of the
reservoir and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 6. Turn on the pump to drain
the solution.
◆Tubing can be removed for high temperature sterilization as required after first use
and cleaning.

16
(3) Capsule Rinsing
Figure 7
I. Rinsing Capsule
a. Set the three-way stopcocks and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 7. Pour
the rinsing solution into the reservoir.
b. Turn on the pump. Increase the speed (rpm) slowly until the feed pressure
achieves to the suggested value that depends on the capsule.
◆Please check if there is any leakage. Make sure to fasten all the connectors.
c. Circulate the rinsing solution continuously. The rinsing solution volume refers to
the operation manuals of the capsule.
