Operational Hints for the Vacuum Degasser
Operational Hints for the Vacuum Degasser
If you are using the vacuum degasser for the first time, if the vacuum degasser
was switched off for any length of time (for example, overnight), or if the vacuum
degasser chambers are empty, you have to prime the vacuum degasser before
running an analysis. Priming is usually done by pumping at a high flow rate
(3 – 5 mL/min). Alternatively, a syringe can be used to draw the solvent through
the (empty) degasser if the pump does not aspirate the solvent by itself.
