Flow Hardware Flow Hardware For protection during transport the flow cell is shipped together with the CryoFIT, inside the CryoFIT box, but is not mounted. For instructions for installing the flow cell refer to the User Guide Handling of Flow Cell and Capillaries. Figure 4.1: The CryoFIT Accessory Box NOTICE Material damage from improper handling of the CryoFIT...
Installation Installation The installation of the CryoProbe for NMR applications with standard sample and flow cell varies depending on whether the CryoProbe is warm or cold: • Installation with a Warm CryoProbe [} 15] • Installation with a Cold CryoProbe [} 16] Assembling the CryoFIT Accessory [} 16] is the same for either case.
Installation Installation with a Cold CryoProbe Make sure firmware version crcoah or higher is installed before installation. • Dismount the mechanical Tuning & Matching adapter or the ATM. The error message: (152) Temp. controller #3 sensor missing will appear on the display.
Installation • Mount the HOLDER BRACKET on the shim upper part as shown: Figure 5.3: Bracket Mounting on the Shim Upper Part • Assemble of the CryoFIT Holder Unit as shown: Figure 5.4: The CryoFIT Holder Unit • Mount of the CryoFIT Holder Unit to Holder Bracket on the upper part of the shim system: H12214_1_003...
Installation Figure 5.5: Mounting the CryoFIT Holder on the Upper Part of the Shim System • Adjust the length of the bracing holder on the magnet until the plate is horizontal. Figure 5.6: Height of the Bracing Holder H12214_1_003...
Inserting the Flow Cell Inserting the Flow Cell Before inserting the Flow Cell make sure the CryoFIT Accessory has been assembled correctly as described in the section Assembling the CryoFIT Accessory [} 16]. • Switch off the BCU05 to prevent freezing. •...
Inserting the Flow Cell • The insert guide slots have to be rotated circa 90° relative to each other, as shown in the figure below. Insert the insert guide into the magnet. Figure 6.3: Inserting the Guide into the Shim Upper Part Figure 6.4: Switching Off the Sample Lift •...
Inserting the Flow Cell Figure 6.5: Unplugging the T-Piece • Keep the plug in a safe place, it will be needed when the Flow Cell is removed (see Removing the Flow Cell [} 29]). • To prepare the CryoFIT, take the CryoFIT out of the box and bend the rod at the frame joint.
Inserting the Flow Cell • Hold the CryoFIT and insert it into the holder. • Carefully insert the inlet capillary into the shim system. The capillary will glide smoothly into the probe and come out through the T-piece of the VT gas adapter.
Inserting the Flow Cell Activate the sample lift so that the insert guide is lifted: Figure 6.8: Activating the Sample Lift • Take the insert guide and rotate the two pieces against each other until the two slots are in-line. Carefully weave out the capillary. Figure 6.9: Removing the Insert Guide H12214_1_003...
Inserting the Flow Cell • Switch off the sample lift: Figure 6.10: Switching Off the Sample Lift • Lift the CryoFIT, and let the CryoFIT glide all the way down into the magnet. Hold the CryoFIT to control the lowering motion. •...
Inserting the Flow Cell Figure 6.11: Inserting the CryoFIT • Hold the CryoFIT with one hand, and with the other hand take the lift and pull it up. Turn the lift and then move it down carefully. Now the flow cell is inserted into the probe and the outlet capillary can be connected. H12214_1_003...
Inserting the Flow Cell Figure 6.12: Inserting the Flow Cell • At the bottom of the probe, take the nut with the green sleeve and put it over the inlet capillary just below the T-piece of the VT gas. Screw the nut tight on the T-piece of the VT gas.

Inserting the Flow Cell The system is now ready to be connected to the external flow equipment. Connecting the CryoFIT to the LC-NMR or BEST When you connect the Inlet capillary with a 1/16“ capillary to the LC-NMR interface (Prospekt2, BPSU-36, BPSU-12, BSFU) make sure that the capillary does NOT extrude out of the end of the sleeve.
Removing the Flow Cell Removing the Flow Cell Before you remove the flow cell you have to remove any solvent and sample! • Wash the flow cell with clean liquid. If the LC-NMR or BEST equipment allows it, do a Wash and Dry Probe.
Removing the Flow Cell Figure 7.2: Removing the Flow Cell • Carefully pull out the CryoFIT to the frame joint. • At the frame joint push the ring and bend the CryoFIT. • Pull out the CryoFIT and inlet capillary. • Put the CryoFIT back in its package with straight bended frame joint. H12214_1_003...
Removing the Flow Cell • Screw the regular plug onto the T-piece of the VT gas. Figure 7.4: Plugging in the T-Piece • Open the valve to enable the spinning flow. • Move the slider to the OPEN position. Figure 7.5: Valve Parts The CryoProbe is now ready again for using NMR sample tubes with or without a sample changer.
Dismantling and Disposal Retrofitting, repairs, adjustments or dismantling of the device must only be carried out by Bruker Service or personnel authorized by Bruker. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Bruker is not covered by your warranty.
