The configuration of your RapidVap may need to be changed to accommodate
your needs. For example, you may want to change the sample size you are running
so you will need to change the block or you may want to add a lid heater to
eliminate condensation inside the lid. Read this chapter to learn how to:
change blocks.
install a lid with heater.
Changing the Sample Blocks
If it is necessary to change from one sample size to another, it may be necessary to
change the block. Refer to
Appendix D: RapidVap Accessories
for available
sample blocks.
First, using a 7/16" socket (RapidVap Vacuum and RapidVap N
2
), remove the
three nuts and washers on the top of the existing block. The RapidVap N
2
/48
requires a 9/16" socket to remove the three manifold guides that secure the block.
Lift the block out of the chamber. Note the asymmetric hole pattern of the three
mounting holes. Apply a small amount of heat transfer grease supplied with the
RapidVap to the end of the temperature sensor probe that extends up from the
bottom of the chamber.
Position the block over the three studs in the chamber. Install the flat washers and
nuts or manifold guide rods. Tighten securely.
