® ® ® Safety Pressure Cap is screwed into place. Place the vessels in the ‘MiniWAVE Rack’. Place the vessel in microwave tube extender and place under the safety Pressure Cap. Hold the vessel by hand during the process.
Placing rack into cavity When loading a rack into MiniWAVE cavity, it is necessary to ensure that the rack handle is aligned with the groove in the cover plate motor. Typically if the rack is placed in the system with rack position 1 in front the rack will align easily.
Software MiniWAVE software has been designed with 3 levels of password protection. This allows the lab administrator permission to assign levels of accessibility. User Level is access into the operation software with different level of capabilities as listed below User Name is the listed below as or may...
During the digestion, each of the vessels are being monitored for temperature and the average sample temperature is used to control the MiniWAVE. If there is a significant temperature difference for one vessel either higher or lower than the other vessels for a certain time, the system will stop the digestion and identify the suspected position.

To run less than 6 vessels, un-tick the check mark for the position not being run. If running one sample the check mark should correspond to the actual sample in the rack (i.e. if sample in Position 1 un-tick all the mark except position 1.
Page 14
14 | In case of running 3 vessels: Vessels should be placed in the rack symmetrically (i.e. Position 1, 3 and 5 or Position 2, 4 and 6). Be sure to un-tick the samples not being placed in the rack. Version 3...

In case of running 4 vessels: Vessels should be loaded symmetrically too (i.e. Positions 1, 2, 4 and 5 or Positions 2, 3, 5 and 6). Similar to the cases specified before, be sure to un-tick the empty positions. In case of running 5 vessels it is very important to un-tick the empty position.
Module tab. It will be either -1, -2, -3, or -4. The Green LED on the front of the MiniWAVE module will start to flash the appropriate number once this button has been pressed.
Methods Tab This tab lists all of the factory and user programmed methods. Highlight a programmed method and then select one of the active action buttons at the bottom. Name is the method selected from the left hand side list. Some methods are factory programmed and cannot be deleted but may be copied and modified as required.

Reports Tab Lists all of the information inputted or generated during the digestion process. Module is the module in which the digestion was completed in. Method is the method that was selected from the method list used to complete the digestion Vessel Type is either Quartz or Teflon ®...
Calibration is used to review the calibration data, and to re-calibrate IR temperature sensor during a preventative maintenance program. The calibration is a five point calibration which is done automatically with an SCP SCIENCE calibration tool. Please refer to the Calibration instruc- tion manual to calibrate the IR (thermopile) sensors.

Language is not operation at this time Network is implemented but not turned on at this time as one requires a software program to pass through your fire wall. Please contact SCP SCIENCE for further information The number of days should be customized as per NOTE protocol for a specific laboratory’s data storage.
22 | Diagnostic Tab CommView is used to validate the communication between controller and module Operations is only available to service personnel. This tab is not functional if a digestion is in progress Refresh Legend is used to pull all of the communication protocols from the modules to help debug a problem.

They can be validated in the field with our Field pressure testing unit. It is highly recommended that Safety Caps be tested every 6 months. Safety Pressure Cap can be calibrated only by SCP SCIENCE’s trained service personnel. WARNING Cleaning the Cavity Under normal operating conditions, if a tube vents during the digestion, the fumes are typically whisked away by the exhaust blower.
Our customers are solely responsible for the safe operation, handling and use of these products. A minimum of safety considerations must be followed when working with the MiniWAVE microwave digestion system in order to maintain good laboratory practice: Do not place the MiniWAVE on a surface containing flammable material.
