2.2 Requirements of the operator
The device may only be used by lab personnel and other persons
having an overview, on the basis of training or practical
experience, of the hazards involved in the operation of the device.
Personnel lacking this training or persons currently in training
require thorough instruction. The operating instructions form
the foundation for this purpose.
2.3 Correct usage
The device has been conceived of and constructed as a lab
device. Its correct usage is for the packing of Büchi Cartridges
C-675 with fluidized separation materials for liquid chromato-
graphy with the assistance of a vacuum.
Humidity and oil free compressed air or non-combustible gases
such as nitrogen or argon with 1 bar (15 psi) can be used for
fluidization. Never use combustible, explosive or reactive gases
for fluidization.
We do not recommend operating the Cartridger together with
a distillation apparatus for the packing process with vacuum.
The very rapid change of the vacuum during the packing pro-
cess can lead to malfunctions.
