Discover SPS Installation Instructions
A. Vacuum Manifold Assembly
1. Using a wrench connect the 3/16” tubing line with TEE onto the top of the vacuum pump. Install the power
cord for the pump.
2. Assemble the vacuum pump TEE to connect directly into 1 of 2 positions on the Teflon bottle caps. Connect the
other port to the adjacent sides of the vacuum manifold line.
3. Place a 50mL centrifuge tube into the 250mL glass bottle so that it hangs in place
4. Screw each cap onto the 250mL and 1L glass bottles.
5. Place each bottle into its appropriate well in the vacuum manifold. The 1L waste is the system waste reservoir
and the 250mL serves to collect the TFA cleaved peptide product into the 50mL centrifuge tube.
B. Temperature Probe Assembly
1. Connect the fiso temperature control box into COM2 in the rear of the Discover
2. Connect the blue temperature probe into the fiso control box, taking care not to bend the probe
3. Slide the temperature probe directly into the sapphire thermowell. This is used to protect the probe from
chemical damage.
