INTRODUCTION ROT-X-TRACT-LC Instrument Description The ROT-X-TRACT Solvent Extraction / Evaporation System is designed for general evaporation and concentration of analytical or environmental samples to meet the needs of specific methods under controlled and reproducible conditions. The ROT-X-TRACT system features liquid / liquid extraction coupled with rapid solvent evaporation with solvent vapor recovery. -
Page 7: Location
INSTALLATION ROT-X-TRACT-LC Location The ROT-X-TRACT evaporator system should be located on a bench top or in a chemical fume hood if hazardous or flammable materials and solvents are to be used. The location should provide the necessary support services for the instrument. These include electrical power (required for water bath), cold water. - Page 8 INSTALLATION ROT-X-TRACT-LC Bath Setup (Continued) Type-Z Purge Positive Pressure Bath option - If you do not have this option, please proceed to the next section.

Digital Electronic Control - Adjust the digital controller to the desired temperature set point. - Page 19 ROT-X-TRACT-LC OPERATION Bath Operation (Digital Control Box Systems – Continued) Timed 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- ness endpoint operations.
- Page 20 OPERATION ROT-X-TRACT-LC Bath Operation (Digital Control Box Systems – Continued) Automatic shutdown of 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 21 OPERATION ROT-X-TRACT-LC Bath Operation (Digital Control Box Systems – Continued) Non-dryness endpoint The ROT-X-TRACT system my be used for non-dryness endpoint evaporation. The following procedures will help to improve accuracy for each run. Turn the heat off at the beginning of the evaporative run. Maintain a log of all operating conditions and positions for future use.
- Page 22 OPERATION ROT-X-TRACT-LC 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.
