Unpacking
VacMaster manifolds are shipped with all accessories in one
box. Before using VacMaster, unpack all the components
carefully. Do not discard any packing material until you have
checked the VacMaster unit and the accessories. We suggest
that you store the packing materials to have them available
for storage or future shipments.
If you find any damage to the unit or the box, contact the
shipping company that delivered your VacMaster and file
a claim. Please contact Biotage or your local distributor for
assistance in repairing or replacing the product.
What You Will Need
In addition to the VacMaster unit and the accessories, you will
need the following to use VacMaster.
Vacuum Source
»
Vacuum control unit with integral vacuum
generator (P/N 121-9602)
Converts standard laboratory compressed air supply to
vacuum that is ample for processing samples on VacMaster.
The unit has a small footprint, and has low noise emissions
compared to a standard vacuum pump. Connect the vacuum
source to the vacuum outlet fitting on the side of the glass
tank using vacuum tubing. Place a trap in the vacuum line to
collect any liquid for proper disposal.
»
Vacuum pump
We recommend that you use a vacuum pump that is oil
free and generates no more than minus 20" Hg (-0.68 bar).
Connect the vacuum source to the vacuum outlet fitting on
the side of the glass tank using vacuum tubing. Place a trap
in the vacuum line to collect any liquid for proper disposal.
Suitable vacuum sources, tubing, and a 1- or 10-liter
polypropylene trap are available from Biotage.
