Setting Up Your RapidVap Vertex
Evaporator

After you verify the RapidVap Vertex Evaporator components, move your
RapidVap Vertex Evaporator to the location where you want to install it.
Then, follow the steps listed below.

Sample Block

The RapidVap Vertex Evaporator was shipped without the sample block
installed. See Appendix D for available blocks. Vials must be snug in the holes
in the block. Select the appropriate block to fit the vials that will be used.
Make certain that the bottom of the chamber is clean and free of debris. The
sample block slides in on the two guides on the front and MUST rest securely
on the bottom. Make certain that the small .21" dia. temperature sensor hole is
in the upper left hand corner. Placing the block in the chamber improperly will
effect performance. Insert the tubular temperature sensor into the .21" dia. hole
to monitor upper block temperature. The actual sample temperature may be
monitored throughout a run by placing the sensor directly into a sample vial.
