INSTRUMENT SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The operation of this instrument involves the use of high pressure
carbon dioxide and flammable gases. Quantities of these gases are
vented from the system after sample preparation. For the safety of the
user this instrument should be setup in an exhaust hood or other
suitable ventilated environment.
The setup instructions below assume that the syringe pump to be used with the RM
Synthesizer is the Daedalus Xtreme-10. The proposed arrangement of components
is merely a guide. Other configurations are possible, and may be necessary
depending on the space available. It is important to stress the necessity of using the
equipment in a ventilated space for the safety of the user.
The bench-top setup in Figure 1 assumes that the instrument in installed under an
appropriate exhaust hood. If that is not feasible, the instrument can be installed
inside a fume hood, however many fume hoods have a smaller depth than the length
of the Xtreme-10. This may require that the Xtreme-10 be placed towards the back
as shown in Figure 2. The Xtreme Controller would have to be placed outside the
hood, or mounted on top of the Xtreme Pump Box. Alternatively, the Xtreme-10
