Original instructions
When it is necessary to end the concentration process with the sample still
dissolved in a small amount of solvent, the time function should be activated and
the process time set to allow the solvent sufficient time to evaporate completely
out of the large upper portion of the sample tube and into the small lower portion
“Cool Zone.” This time can be approximated by knowing the starting sample size,
the desired end point volume, the stem size of the sample tube used and the
solvent. The tables in
Appendix C: RapidVap Specifications
indicate the
approximate time required to evaporate various common solvents. Actual times
must be determined by the user. When the set time has expired, the RapidVap N
2
will give an audible alarm and turn off all RapidVap functions.
