Planning

Thoroughly understand procedures and the equipment operation prior to
beginning work. The unique performance of the RapidVap Vertex
Evaporator is dependent upon the proper balance of heat and nitrogen flow.
If the proper balance is not established, it is possible to damage or lose a
portion of the sample. Therefore, if you are unfamiliar with the RapidVap
Vertex Evaporator or are attempting a new protocol, it may be helpful to
make a trial run that is void of the sample you are attempting to concentrate.

Select the size of the sample tube so it is compatible with the block. Tubes
should not be loose in the block. Blocks are available with holes for various
size tubes.

Loading Glassware Into the RapidVap
Vertex Evaporator

There are 5 control valves that control nitrogen to the 5 horizontal rows of
nozzles. Samples should be positioned in complete rows as much as possible.
This will minimize the number of rows of nozzles and reduce gas consumption.

RapidVap Vertex Evaporator Controls

The control panel for the RapidVap Vertex Evaporator is shown below with a
description about their function.
