6 Flow Unit Installation
Before installing the InsightMR flow unit:
• Familiarize yourself with all the safety measures in General Workplace Dangers [}12].
• Take the appropriate safety measures (risk assessment, PPE, fume cupboard etc.) for
monitoring reactions and processes.
• Familiarize yourself with safety measures when working with magnetic fields (refer to the
AVANCE Systems General Safety Considerations User Manual, available on the BASH
DVD or from Bruker).
• Place a collection vessel (rated for chemical waste according to local EH&S standards)
below the NMR probe with sufficient volume to contain the thermostat liquid and the
reaction mixture, in the unlikely case of a leak.
6.1 Choose the Position of the Reactor
The transfer line has a standard length of 4 or 7 meters. Depending on the magnet type 1 or
2 meters of transfer line are required inside the magnet.
• Identify the place where the vessel can be placed and reached by the remaining length of
the transfer line.
• Fix the flow interface by connecting it to a laboratory stand.
