(
Figure 3
). Reactants, solvent and stir elements can then be added to each vial.
2. Once vials are charged with required components, it is ready to be sealed.
STEP1
: Place one
VP 416-96-FILM
(clear PFA sheet
–
sold separately) over the vials taking care
to align the center hole of the film and the center hole of the reaction block (red circle).
STEP2
: Place a single
VP 416-96-MAT
(sold separately) over the PFA film. A good technique is
to use fingertips of one hand to hold the PFA film in place while your other hand places the
white mat directly over the film ensuring that
both center holes align
.
