The use of stacking plates is automatable on Tecan’s RESOLVEX A100 Stand-Alone Workstations and on industry-standard robotic liquid handlers. Operating Manual for RESOLVEX M10 96 & M10 96 XT P/N 278-2036 Rev C Page 12/19...
Manifold Operation Each manifold port is flow-restricted in order to maintain uniform manifold pressure in all positions, even if some positions are not filled by columns. With no column in place, there is approximately 0.75 SCFH (0.35 +/- .236 liter per minute) of flow through a port at 25 PSIG (1.7 bar). The principle of the restrictor manifold design is discussed in the following diagram.
Pressure Application The RESOLVEX™ M10 96 has a two-level gas delivery system used to pressurize the SPE columns. It is user-controlled and operated manually by adjusting the pressure and flow each time the unit is used. One part of the system is controlled by the rotameter located on the left side of the unit panel. By switching the “FLOW CONTROL”...
14.1 Daily Maintenance 1. Inspect the manifold column seal for wear and tear or detachment. Replace if necessary or clean using a lint-free cloth or wipe. 2. Wipe up all spills on the surface areas of the unit. Warning: Waste bin and surroundings may be contaminated with biological samples.
® Cerex Technology ® Cerex is a patented manufacturing technology that enables creation of very high performance ® Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) columns. Cerex technology provides for the use of microparticulate sorbents in the SPE column, typically in the 10µm particle size range, as compared to the 40µm particle size range used by most commercial suppliers.
This high capture effect allows the use of much ® smaller bed sizes in Cerex columns compared to conventional sorbents. For example, a 35mg, ® or even a 20mg Cerex column, typically exhibits the same effective capacity as a 100mg, 40µm SPE product.
