Agilent 708-DS Dissolution Apparatus
Training Manual
Revision A September 2010
P/N: xx-xxxx
5.2. Auto Sampling
The Auto Sampling option of the 708-DS dissolution apparatus allows the
laboratory analyst to perform unattended dissolution methods. This requires use
of Agilent’s VK 8000 Dissolution Sampling Station and a Agilent Peristaltic or
Syringe Pump to move the sample to the collector. A Filter Changer may also be
added for use with a Syringe Pump for automated filtration. A manifold and its
associated internal drive are included with the 708-DS if this option is configured.
The following sections discuss or reference details of the manifold and its
operation.
5.2.1. Load / Eject Manifold
The manifold of the 708-DS dissolution apparatus is installed and
removed with the touch of a button. This initial installation procedure is
described in Section 2.1.8 of this manual.
Figure 5-2. Installation of the Manifold
For the purposes of cleaning, maintenance, or just to create additional
space for manual testing, the manifold may be ejected from the drive unit.
To remove the manifold, it is important to first perform the following steps:
Lift the drive unit to its fully raised position
Disconnect the two thermistor RS232 cables (if AutoTemp is
installed)
Remove the sample tubing from the black fasteners
Remove the evaporation covers
After these steps have been completed, press Eject to fully lower the
manifold until it is free from the drive unit. Be sure to “catch” the manifold
