System Components
(typically overnight). Perform a periodic check of your gaskets
and replace a gasket that shows sign of wear or damage or that
leaks at your typical operating pressures.
Figure 7. There are three sanitary gaskets for the SIM: 1) the black and
gray PTFE/EPDM gasket (P/N 415891SP), 2) the black Viton gasket with
yellow and white color dots on the edge (P/N 01615), and 3) the black
EPDM gasket with green dots on the edge (P/N 01616).
Grounding Kit
The system can build up high static charges as non-polar
solvents flow through PTFE tubing, membrane filters, and/or
across a bed of dry silica. To eliminate any risk of a static
discharge, the systems and ancillary containers must be
grounded before use.
The pre-wired grounding kit that is supplied with the system
includes a complete wiring harness assembly (see Figure 8)
and a pair of fraction collection assemblies (a smaller one for
the Flash 75 system and a larger one for the Flash 150 system,
see Figure 9). For instructions on how to install the grounding
kit, see “Ground the System” on page 12.

Start-Up Kit
Biotage provides a start-up kit consisting of the following items:
»
For supplying inert gas, the kit includes four (4)
six-foot lengths (1830 mm) of polyethylene tubing,
1/4" O.D., 0.04" wall thickness, color-coded
in BLUE (P/N 01487), YELLOW (P/N 01354),
GREEN (P/N 00547), and RED (P/N 00546).
»
For supplying solvent, the kit includes:
»
Flash 75: one (1) three-foot (914 mm) and one (1)
one-foot length (305 mm) of 1/8" O.D. CLEAR PTFE tubing
(P/N 00088), and one (1) six-foot length (1830 mm)
of 1/4" O.D. CLEAR PTFE tubing (P/N 00089).
»
Flash 150: one (1) twelve-foot length (3658 mm)
of 1/4" O.D. CLEAR PTFE tubing (P/N 00089).
»
Two (2) spare O-rings for the radial compression module
(P/N 00778 for Flash 75 and P/N 01420 for Flash 150).
»
One (1) two-part inert gas supply fitting, a 3/8" NPT
reducing bushing with a 1/4" (M) NPT attached to
an instant-tight tubing connector (P/N 03072).
»
One (1) three-way valve for the radial
compression module (P/N 04562).
»
One (1) grounding kit (P/N FGD-15075).
»
One (1) cartridge extraction tool (P/N 02131 for
Flash 75 and P/N 01428 for Flash 150).
»
Two (2) disposable 10 mL syringes (P/N 01656).
»
One (1) Luer injection port (P/N02838). Only Flash 150.
»
One (1) user manual (P/N 02140).
For detailed information on how tubing and fittings are attached
and assembled, refer to the section “Installation” on page 9.
Cartridge Extraction Tool
A cartridge extraction tool is provided to simplify the removal of
used flash cartridges from the barrel of the radial compression
module. The tool consists of a machined stainless steel rod with
a handle on one end and two swinging, bladed “leaves” on the
other (see Figure 10). A sliding ring on the shaft locks the leaves
into a position perpendicular to the shaft of the tool.

. The cartridge extraction tool simplifies the removal of a used
cartridge from the radial compression module.
To use the tool, slip the lock ring to the bottom of the shaft so
that the leaves are held in place. Hold the tool by the handle
and push the tool firmly into the top of the cartridge. The bladed
surface of the leaves will “bite” into the plastic edge of the
cartridge, allowing it to be easily pulled out. Moving the sliding
lock ring up will release the leaves so the tool can be removed.
