Never use technical grade solvent. It is strongly recommended to use particle free solvents such as
p.a. quality or HPLC grade solvent to guarantee proper operation of the valves, filters and frits.

FILTER
Filling the solvent reservoir:
To prevent air from being drawn though the lines, insert
the inlet line (approx. 1 m) equipped with an intake filter
(P/N 044340) into the reservoir until the filter touches
the bottom.
6.2.2 Modifying the SOLVENT LIST
When creating an extraction method (see section 6.4.3) the solvent used for extraction needs to be
determined. It is possible to create a list of up to 20 solvents for this purpose. The ten most frequently
used solvents are programmed in the SOLVENT LIST by default. However, this list can be expanded
or changed to include your own solvents or solvent mixtures.
Open the list:
• Go to MENU  SOLVENT LIST to open the default
solvent list consisting of 10 entries.
Changing an entry:
It is possible to change the default solvent list as need-
ed. For example, to change DICHLOROMETHANE into
DCM proceed as follows:
• Go to DICHLOROMETHANE and press EDIT. A
submenu with different characters appears. To erase
the whole name press DELETE. Move the cursor
to D using the selection knob and press SELECT.
Proceed similarly with C and M. To save the name
press ACCEPT. The modified name now appears on
the same position as previously Dichloromethane as
DCM.
• To modify a name (e.g. Dichloromethane_1) open
the EDIT menu, choose the corresponding charac-
ters and press SELECT. Confirm the changes with
ACCEPT. The modified name now appears on the
same position as previously Dichloromethane.
