  • Page 15 MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Type Z-Purge Bath Operation - Optional What It Does The Type-Z Purged system prevents ignition of flammable materials caused by contact with electrical components inside the heating unit. How It Works The concept behind this purge system is to create a small positive pressure gradient inside the bath case.

  • Page 16: Planning And Preparation

    Under no circumstances should this equipment be used with materials capable of auto ignition below 150 Degrees Centigrade including materials containing peroxides. Please Contact Organomation Associates Technical Support if you have any questions concerning the use of TYPE-Z Purged equipment or questionable materials in OAI equipment.

  • Page 18 MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Bath Operation Timed Gas and Heat Control The Time control system allows several operating modes which can be set for different operations. The timer may be used to preheat the bath in the morning prior to use, to shut down the system after a specific period of time (unattended operation), or for non- dryness endpoint operations.
  • Page 19 MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Bath Operation (continued) Timed Gas and Heat Control (Continued) Automatic shutdown of gas or heat services - unattended operation To shut down the bath services after a period of time during a sample evaporative run, ideal when each sample is to be taken to dryness and the operator will not be present at the completion of the run.
  • Page 20 MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Bath Operation (continued) Timed Gas and Heat Control (Continued) Non-dryness automated endpoint - unattended operation The MULTIVAP system my be used for timed non-dryness endpoint evaporation. order for this operation to be successful the following parameters must be maintained.

  • Page 21: Instrument Operation

    MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Instrument Operation Turn on the heating and gas control system. Adjust the digital temperature control to the desired temperature. For samples which are not heat sensitive, adjust the controller to a temperature which is two degrees below the boiling point of the sample.
  • Page 22 MULTIVAP 118 OPERATION Instrument Operation (continued) When using 19 gauge needles a minimum flow of 0.3 LPM per sample is recommended. Higher flows may be used as desired and is recommended for larger needle sizes. High flows will improve evaporation rate however needle tip to sample surface will have to be increased to avoid splashing.

  • Page 23: Maintenance And Cleaning
