Cleaning the seals
• If necessary, rinse the seals with organic solvent (e.g. ethanol) with the help of beaker. Always
visually inspect the seals for dust, sand or scratches.
NOTE
Never clean the cup seals with a wet towel or wipe. Any kind of residue might cause a leak and/or
reduce the lifetime of the cup seals.
Cleaning the upper cup seal frit
• In case of unexpected contamination, remove the top cover plate (position 4 on page 97) and
clean it in an ultrasound bath.
Flushing the lines
• If the next extraction method involves a different type of solvent, flush the lines thoroughly with the
new solvent as described in section 6.2.5.
For further periodic maintenance procedures see section 7.2.
6.5 Creating a report (optional)
Optional PC software is available (P/N 053073), which allows communication between the SpeedEx-
tractor and a PC via a USB port. The SpeedExtractor Record software allows you to fully create, edit,
and store extraction methods. It also includes a real-time status view of the SpeedExtractor. Moreover,
a visualization window graphically represents the temperature pressure sequence during extractions
and leak tests. All unexpected events like pause or vial change will be recorded. The logbook con-
tains all relevant maintenance information about e.g. number of extractions or leak test information.
Finally, the process report feature generates full documentation, including all process parameters and
information, as well as the temperature/pressure profiles, in PDF or CVS format. For more information
regarding the SpeedExtractor Record software, please refer to the corresponding manual on the free
trial CD (valid for 60 days) which is part of the scope of delivery (P/N 053074).
