System Description
ElectroPrep
The ElectroPrep is designed to recirculate electrolyte through a filter cartridge that retains
particles greater than 0.1 to 0.2 micrometers in diameter. The electrolyte is contained in a
reservoir, providing a supply of clean electrolyte at all times.
For electrolytes in which sample particles readily disperse (e.g., alumina in saline water)
without having to add a dispersing agent, the waste liquid can simply be poured back into
the reservoir and used again and again. In typical usage under this circumstance, one prep-
aration of electrolyte will last several months before the filter cartridge has to be replaced.
This is also true with saturated electrolytes.
Waste liquid cannot be recycled when the sample material requires a special dispersing
agent because placing it back into the electrolyte would change the electrolyte composi-
tion. The ElectroPrep is still useful in these situations by affording a ready source of clean
electrolyte to fill instrument sample beakers and supply containers. The ElectroPrep can
be employed with either aqueous or organic electrolytes by selecting the appropriate car-
tridge. Refer to Ordering Information, page
ElectroPrep, or contact your local sales representative.
Volumetric Pump
Also available is a volumetric pump which enables you to measure the concentration of
particles.
