Operating Instructions

Page

1.3 Intended Use

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The device is designed to be

operated only be qualified and authorized personnel. All users must know the hazards

presented by the device and the used substances.

The SRD has been developed as part of the UltiMate 3000 system and is a reliable module

for the secure and functional positioning of the solvent reservoirs and for automatic

degassing of typical HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) solvents. The SRD

is controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System from the HPLC

pump of the UltiMate 3000 system. However, the SRD can be used with other HPLC

systems if adequate control inputs and outputs are available.

Being part of the UltiMate 3000 system, the SRD (and the pump) can also be operated with

other data systems, such as

•

Xcalibur™, Compass™/HyStar™, or Analyst

To do so, installation of the DCMSLink (Dionex Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

Link) software is required in addition to the installation of the data system.

•

Empower™

Installation of the Dionex Instrument Integration Software is required in addition to the

installation of the data system.

For more information, contact the Thermo Fisher Scientific sales organization for Dionex

HPLC Products.

Operation in stand-alone mode is possible as well.

Note that the SRD may be operated only with accessories and spare parts recommended by

Thermo Fisher Scientific (

→

page 51) and within its technical specifications (

→

page 49).

If there is any question regarding appropriate usage, contact Thermo Fisher Scientific before

proceeding.

Thermo Fisher Scientific cannot be held liable for any damage, material or otherwise,

resulting from inappropriate or improper use of the instrument.

Warning:

If the device is used in a manner not specified by Thermo Fisher

Scientific, the protection provided by the device could be impaired.

Thermo Fisher Scientific assumes no responsibility and will not be

liable for operator injury and/or instrument damage. Whenever it is

likely that the protection is impaired, the instrument must be

disconnected from all power sources and be secured against any

intended operation.
