Need help?Do you have a question about the CAMAG TLC SPRAY CABINET 2 and is the answer not in the manual?
The CAMAG TLC Spray Cabinet 2 is a laboratory instrument designed to enhance safety and efficiency when working with thin-layer chromatograms. Its primary function is to remove excess spray mist and protect laboratory personnel from solvent vapors and potentially poisonous or irritating sprays during the application of reagents to TLC plates. This contributes significantly to a safer laboratory environment.
The cabinet is also highly effective for drying freshly developed TLC plates, whether or not the drying process is accelerated with a hair dryer. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for various stages of TLC analysis.
The instrument's design prioritizes ease of use and optimal plate positioning. It consists of a housing with an integrated radial fan, a tray, and a perforated plate support.
To set up the instrument for use:
When spraying a TLC plate, follow the instructions provided with your specific sprayer or rely on your own experience. After completing the spraying process, it is important to allow the fan to run for an additional 10 minutes, especially when corrosive reagents have been used, to ensure thorough removal of residual vapors.
The instrument is designed for indoor use only and complies with safety class 1. It is crucial to use adequate safety equipment, such as protective goggles and gloves, when operating the instrument to prevent injury. The instrument should only be used by properly trained laboratory staff and is not suitable for use in environments with a risk of explosions.
The CAMAG TLC Spray Cabinet 2 is designed for easy cleaning, which significantly extends its working life. Regular cleaning is recommended.
For cleaning:
No special maintenance procedures are required for the instrument itself. However, if the fan motor becomes defective, it must be replaced by a service technician. Only authorized personnel should open the instrument, and service or repair should only be performed by trained specialists using spare parts and consumables supplied by CAMAG. Using parts from other sources will void the warranty. Before any service, consult the service manual to mitigate product-specific risks. The power cord must be removed before opening the instrument, and it is strictly forbidden to work on an opened instrument that is connected to the power supply. Only the original power cord supplied with the instrument should be used.
In the event that liquids penetrate the instrument's interior, the power must be disconnected immediately. Small amounts of liquid can be wiped off or dried with a hair dryer. For larger amounts of liquid, a service technician must be called, and a functionality test must be performed in all cases.
If the instrument requires decontamination, follow the relevant safety regulations and guidelines.
The instrument is marked with a symbol indicating that it must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it should be collected separately as electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE-Directive 2002/96/EC). To ensure proper recycling, the equipment or its parts should be returned to the distributor, producer, or an adequate collection system at the end of its life cycle. This measure helps to mitigate potential negative effects on the environment and human health.
