6. Operation There are several operation procedures in this system, please follow the steps below to set up the flow path you need. For cleaning procedure and solution for capsules, please refer to the instruction manuals of capsules. (1) Cleaning Figure 1 a.
(2) Draining and Collection Figure 2 a. When the pump is stopped, setting the three-way stopcocks as shown in figure 2. b. Open one of the lid caps on the reservoir lid, the solution would flow through the recovery tubing to the container automatically by gravity. Figure 3...

c. If you need to collect the solution in the system after experiment, please turn off the pump first and adjust the three-way stopcocks, then exchange the capsule to the cleaning tubing as shown in figure 3. Figure 4 d. Turn on the pump to collect all the solution into the reservoir and turn off the pump after collection.
Page 19
e. Setting the three-way stopcock at the bottom of the reservoir to adjust the flow path as shown in figure 5. Open one of the lid caps on the reservoir lid, the solution would drain automatically by gravity. Figure 6 To drain the solution completely, please set the three-way stopcock of the reservoir and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 6.
(3) Capsule Rinsing Figure 7 I. Rinsing Capsule a. Set the three-way stopcocks and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 7. Pour the rinsing solution into the reservoir. b. Turn on the pump. Increase the speed (rpm) slowly until the feed pressure achieves to the suggested value that depends on the capsule.

Figure 8 II. Rinsing the Capsule and the System a. Set the three-way stopcocks and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 8 b. Turn on the pump. Increase the speed (rpm) slowly until the feed pressure achieves to the suggested value that depends on the capsule. ◆...
(4) Pretreatment and Concentration Figure 9 I. Pretreatment a. Set the three-way stopcocks and adjust the flow path as shown in figure 9. b. Pour the buffer into the reservoir. Turn on the pump and increase the speed (rpm) slowly to fill the tube without bubbles. The feed pressure depends on capsule itself.
II. Concentration a. Pour the sample solution into the reservoir, turn on the pump. The feed pressure depends on capsule itself. b. Adjust the screw clamp and the speed (rpm) of pump until the feed pressure and retentate pressure achieve to the pressure as suggested. Suggested pressure depends on capsule itself.

7. Usage and Maintenance of Capsule In this manual, we take Pall Minimate TFF Capsule as example. For other capsules, please refer to manufacture’s instruction manuals. (1) Using the Capsule for the First Time I. Flushing Pour about 500 mL deionized water into the reservoir. Slowly adjust the flow rate until the feed pressure reaches <...
Page 25
II. Cleaning Steps: Drain the Waste: After recover the sample, place the tubing from the retentate and filtrate ports into a waste container. Flushing with Deionized Water: Refer to (1) I. Flushing. Cleaning with Cleaning Solution: follow the steps below to clean the capsule. Make sure that the feed pressure should NOT exceed 2 bar (about 30 psi).
