Part 5. Conditioning chemical traps
If your traps are preconditioned, you will not need to perform a conditioning
procedure before using them. However, all traps need regeneration periodically,
for example after using one to four cylinders of gas, or if gases of the highest
purity were not used. You can recondition Agilent moisture and activated
charcoal traps. Agilent oxygen traps cannot be reconditioned; you must replace
them if they become contaminated. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
reconditioning traps.
The molecular sieve and activated charcoal traps can also be repacked.
Instructions for repacking traps are shipped with each trap.
