Solvent Trap Accessory

NOTE: For Solvent Trap Accessory installation instructions, refer to TRIOS software online Help.
CAUTION: Lowering the carrier assembly too quickly could cause solvent in the geometry well to
splash onto the sample, thereby changing the sample's physical properties.
MISE EN GARDE: L'abaissement trop rapide de l'ensemble du support peut provoquer l'écla-
boussement du solvant contenu dans le tube sur l'échantillon, modifiant ainsi les propriétés phy-
siques de l'échantillon.
The Solvent Trap is used to trap vapor in the sample environment and therefore minimize drying of the
sample. The bottom of the solvent trap splits and clamps onto the fixed portion of the Peltier Plate. After
adding solvent to the well of the geometry, a glass carrier shield drops downward and simultaneously
makes a seal with the split clamp and the fluid in the well. This is a non-contact seal, as the seal is made
with the solvent in the geometry's well.

For Peltier Plate, the temperature range is –40°C to 180°C with cooling device. Refer to the table below for
solvent trap geometry compatibility.
