WARNING THIS SYMBOL INDICATES HAZARDS THAT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS MATERIAL DAMAGE OR POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURY. THIS SYMBOL MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TOUCH SURFACES IN THESE AREAS. THESE SURFACES CAN BE VERY HOT AND MAY LEAD TO BURNS. This symbol indicates that you should refer to the relevant part of the User Manual for additional information. THESE 2 SYMBOLS COMBINED INDICATES HAZARDS THAT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS MATERIAL DAMAGE OR POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURY AND THAT YOU SHOULD READ THE RELEVANT PART OF THE USER MANUAL. 2.2

Safety BEFORE OPERATING THE SYSTEM, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE READ TO ENSURE THAT THE IMPLICATIONS TO THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL OPERATING THE SYSTEM AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF SAMPLE INTEGRITY ARE UNDERSTOOD.

Samples in the concentrator chamber are subjected to accelerations of up to 250G. The following precautions should therefore always be observed. 2.3

Safe loading of concentrator •

Always balance the rotor within 10g for the DNA, Duo and Quattro.

•

Only use miVac rotors with your system.

•

Only load tubes or vials into the rotors that are specified on the rotor.

•

Always locate tubes/vials correctly in the rotor.

•

Only use a maximum of THREE Shallow Well Microplates (with Stackers) or ONE Deepwell microplate per location on the Duo 2 Position Swing Rotor.

•

Only use a maximum of FIVE Shallow Well Microplates (with Stackers) or TWO Deepwell microplates per location on the Quattro 4 Position Swing Rotor.

•

Only fill wells of Microplates to 66% of their maximum fill level.

•

Always load opposite swings with the same or similar type of plates.

•

Always rotate a swing rotor by hand after loading to check that all plates are correctly located before starting a run and before re-starting an interrupted run.

Limitations of use

Your concentrator system is unsuitable for use under the following circumstances: •

With strong acids such as HCl, TFA and HBr at all concentrations – See page 6 for approved list.

•

For use as a pressure vessel.

Rotary vane oil vacuum pumps are not recommended for use with miVac systems because vapours from the system may cause damage to the pump. However, for users wishing to use their miVac system with rotary vane oil pumps we recommend that the pump is run with the gas ballast set to position 1 to help prevent vapour damage to the pump. Oil pumps should then be run for 1 hour after the end of the concentration process (with ballast still engaged) to ensure that there is no condensed vapour in the pump. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the user to check with the pump manufacturer as to how the pump should be operated.

Controls

Let’s take a closer look at the controls and what they do: Switch the unit on and the LCD screen will temporarily illuminate to display:

This is a test to ensure that all LCD segments are functioning correctly; it will then revert to the ready mode: o The display will indicate the current run settings. For example, with a current chamber temperature of 24 C and a TOTAL run time of 1 hour, the display will indicate:

There are 4 buttons and a rotary selector. PRE-HEAT When pressed this allows you to pre-heat the chamber to 40oC prior to starting the run, when selected the LED is illuminated. Pre-heat is cancelled when you press either of the start buttons, the STOP button or the PREHEAT button again. MANUAL – Runs until you push STOP. When pressed this emits a single beep and starts the run and will continue to run until the STOP button is pressed. When this mode is selected the LED is illuminated and the time counts UP to indicate the time accumulated. AUTO – Runs for the time set and then stops When pressed this emits a single beep and starts the run. The system will shut down when the TOTAL time set has elapsed. When this mode is selected the LED is illuminated and the time counts DOWN to indicate the time remaining. STOP When pressed this emits a single beep and stops the run. The STOP button can be pressed at any time and the system will safely shutdown. If the STOP button is pressed again when the system is idle it will cause the system to enter standby. Pressing any button will bring the system out of standby. SELECT This is a rotary selector and switch unit that is used to set and adjust the various run parameters to suit your needs. These are: Maximum Temperature, Run Type, Run Time and Heat Time.

miVac Series 5.6

Getting the best from miVac solid aluminium rotors.

Aluminium rotors are fast because, compared to your tubes, they're better at collecting heat from the concentrator. This heat is then transferred to your tubes so speeding evaporation. If you can start a run with the system pre-heated it will be faster still. Have a look at the graph to see typical differences depending on how the system is used.

If you really care about getting the fastest speed then try to get into the habit of leaving your empty rotor in the concentrator with the lid shut and pre-heat enabled. Short runs particularly, benefit from this. The software has also been modified to optimise the benefits from the new rotors (V1.09 on). See below: DO NOT PRE-HEAT WITH YOUR SAMPLES LOADED • • •

Rather than the pre-heat function being fixed at 40°C, pre-heat now heats to your control temperature. You can choose to latch on pre-heat by holding down the pre-heat button for 5 seconds. The system then automatically remains warm between runs. (You can cancel this as usual with a short press of the pre-heat button). The [H2O] function for Duo and Quattro concentrators has been optimised for aluminium rotors. Always use this function when you have more than a few tubes of water. However you might find full vacuum, [---], faster with just a few tubes.

Always use the [H2O] function on DNA system when evaporating water or solvents with similar boiling points. Note for existing users: •

Existing systems will still benefit from the new aluminium rotors, even without the new software you'll still get 80%-90% of the improvement shown on the graphs.

SPEEDTRAP

6

Introduction.

The miVac SpeedTrap offers you the following features: • • • • 6.1

Unique frost free cold trap. No defrosting required, all solvents (including water) collect as liquids. Easy to empty - collection jar is removed by quarter turn. Ideal for use on all concentrators, except freeze driers.

Safety.

NOTE: After installation leave the SpeedTrap in the upright position for 24hrs before connecting power. Please be assured that sudden boiling of solvent within the jar is normal and it will recondense. You may also see ice forming in the jar, this is normal under certain conditions. The collection jar is only to be emptied at the end of a run when the Concentrator has stopped. If ice forms in the Condenser jar, allow it to thaw naturally. Do not use implements to try and break the ice as this may damage the jar. Cold water may be added to the jar to accelerate the thawing process. THE DRIP TRAY IS TO BE EMPTIED REGULARLY TO AVOID THE RISK OF SPLASHING. CARE IS TO BE TAKEN WHEN REMOVING THE COLLECTION JAR, AS IT IS HEAVY, ESPECIALLY WHEN FULL OF SOLVENT. INSPECT THE COLLECTION JAR BEFORE EVERY USE FOR DAMAGE, CRACKS ETC. DO NOT ALLOW TO FILL ABOVE “MAX” LINE AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND STOP CONCENTRATION. EMPTY THE COLLECTION JAR AFTER EVERY RUN. REFER TO LIST OF ACCEPTABLE SOLVENTS BEFORE USE 6.2

Cleaning.

Exterior surfaces can be cleaned using a lint free cloth, the following also apply: • • •

Do not use abrasives. Collection jar is Dishwasher safe. Collection jar is not suitable for an Autoclave.
