  • Page 11: Mode Of Operation For Ultrafiltration

    ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 2 Overview Mode of operation for ultrafiltration The peristaltic pump delivers a continuous flow of sample solution at a high rate through the lower chamber of the ultrafiltration cell. The sample flows along the filtration membrane and then to the waste container. At the same time, the peristaltic pump's second channel generates a vac- uum in the upper chamber of the ultrafiltration cell, thus pulling the sam- ple solution through the filtration membrane.

  • Page 21: Deaerating The Ultrafiltration Cell

    ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 3 Installation Deaerating the ultrafiltration cell Every time a new filtration membrane is inserted, the air which may still be present in the filtration cell and in the capillaries must be removed. To accomplish this, rinse out all capillaries with e.g. ultrapure water. NOTICE The entire filtration system must be completely connected prior to the rinsing procedure.
  • Page 22 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 3.4 Deaerating the ultrafiltration cell Check whether any air bubbles remain trapped in the ultrafiltra- ■ tion cell. If air bubbles are trapped in the cell, then unscrew the PTFE capil- laries from the filtrate outlet (3-3) and from the sample outlet (3-5) and wait until the air bubbles have escaped.

    Aqueous earth extracts 4.1.2 Selecting the filtration membrane You can apply existing sample preparation procedures to the Metrohm ultrafiltration cell (6.2729.110). If you wish to use a different filtration membrane than the one supplied, please note that, even if the particle size is known, selecting a membrane with a suitable pore size does not automatically yield the desired results.

    ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 4 Operation and maintenance Nominal pore size according to manufacturer's statement. Except for this membrane, all membranes were from the same manufac- turer. Please also note that because of the lower filter thickness the retention capacity of filtration membranes may be lower than that of filters with the same pore size but a higher filter thickness.
