4 Putting into operation
Inspect for damages after unpacking. It is important that
possible transport damage is immediately recognized upon
unpacking. It may be necessary to report transport damages
to your supplier.
The original packaging should be kept for possible later
transport or storage.
4.1 Location
The Cartridger can be used anywhere in the lab. The space
should be level, dry and free of vibration. Büchi recommends
operation in a clean exhaust system.
Operation in explosion-proof rooms is not permitted. Although
the Cartridger is not an electric device, the build-up of a static
charge during the packing process is not impossible.
Operation in refrigerated rooms, bathrooms, next to water
baths and in storerooms is not recommended. The large
surface of the stationary phases and the hygroscopic proper-
ties of many stationary phases (e.g. silica gel) can result in
contamination and changed chromatographic characteristics.
4.2 Connecting the vacuum tube to
the cartridge holder
The supplied tubes are designed for use with both vacuum and
compressed air up to 2bar. Connect the cartridge holder and
the Cartridger housing with the shorter tube (see Fig. 4.1).
