Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Modify the Clamshell Process Chambers?
YES.
• The clamshell process chambers (sold separately) are simple and easy to modify.
• The plastic can be cut to customize the box to fit individual process requirements.
• The boxes are disposable. If the box becomes soiled or damaged, replacements are readily available from EFD.
Can I Make My Own Process Chamber?
YES.
For those who wish to make their own process chamber, follow the guidelines below:
• The chamber should cover the entire material path (syringe, valve, fittings, etc, leaving only the needle or exit
point exposed).
• The chamber should have a minimum of “dead air” space. The less space inside the chamber, the easier it is to
maintain temperatures within.
• The chamber should allow the heated / chilled air to circulate freely around the process hardware within.
• The chamber must have a vent that allows air to exit the chamber. Plan ahead to determine where the heated /
chilled air can freely enter, circulate, and then exit the chamber.
• The chamber should either be made of transparent materials, or be provided with a window to allow monitoring
of material levels.
• In order to maintain temperatures well above or below ambient conditions, the chamber should be made
from or contain an insulated material or have double-walled construction. This will help to maintain desired
temperatures.
