Assemble System
Installation
1. Verify all components have been provided. (See Tray
Assembly and Fittings/ Part Bag Figures on reverse
side)
2. Cut Pharmed tubing (yellow) to lengths specified in
Figure 1 shown on reverse side.
3. Slide tube clamps onto t
ubing and insert fittings into
tubing as shown in Figure 1. Slide clamps over fitting
ends and pinch together (use pliers if necessary to
assist).
4. Lay drip tray on work counter.
(Note: if there is
any rocking
of tray, the bottom feet can
be adjusted by rotating as
necessary as shown in
figure 2).
Figure 2
5. Slide stir plate into left compartment of drip tray
underneath reservoir bracket. Attach capsule stand
on raised boss in center of drip tray with screw in
threaded hole. Turn screw until snug fit, but allows
the stand to move. (See Figure 3)

6.
Connect 3-way valves to fi
ttings on reservoir outlet
and inlet. Attach male luer plugs onto female luer
connectors on 3-way valves
.
(See Figure 4)
Figure 4
7. Place reservoir
onto stir plate with outlet toward rear
of plate. (See figure 5)
Figure 5
8. Connect “long tube” to 3-way valve at reservoir outlet
and to fitting on rear gauge
mount. (See figure 5)
9. Attach pump head onto pump with supplied screws.
(See Figure 6)
Figure 6
10. Place tray in front of pump and insert tubing into
open pump head, close pump head onto tubing. (See
figure 7).
11. Attach male luer coupler to fitting on front of gauge
mount. Attach Minimate
Capsule feed port to
coupler, rotate capsule to l
eft into capsule stand and
onto capsule bracket for support. (See figure 7)
12. Connect “mid-length” tube to fitting on rear of forward
gauge mount and to retentate port on capsule filter.
(See figure 7)
13. Connect “short tube” to fitting on front of gauge
mount and to 3-way valve on reservoir inlet. Attach
adjustable screw clamp to tube. Remove clamp
when not in use, tubing can deform over time without
fluid passing through tubing. (See Figure 7)
Figure 7
14. Cut a length of tubing from Minimate
TM
Capsule
packaging long enough to reach filtrate collection
vessel from filtrate port on filter capsule. Attach
tubing clamp and female luer-1/8” hose barb to tube.
Connect fitting to filtrate
port and plac
e open tube
end into filtrate receiver vessel. (See Figure 8).
Figure 8
15. If performing diafiltration, place lid onto reservoir.
Connect 1-way valves onto fittings on top of
reservoir. From the Minimate Capsule filter
packaging, cut a length of tubing to reach from 1-way
valve on reservoir lid top to diafiltration vessel. Attach
male luer-1/8” hose barb elbow and tubing clamp.
Attach elbow to 1-way valve on lid and other tube
end into diafiltration vessel, sinker at end of tube
optional. (See Figure 8).
16. Plug pump cord into pump and power socket
(international adapter plug is provided for
international power sockets. Note: the plug does not
change current).
17. Plug stir plate power plug into stir plate and power
socket. (international adapt
er plug is provided for
international power sockets. Note: for stir plate only)
Operation
Confirm all fittings are secure prior to running liquid
through system.
Refer to VWR® stir plate operating manual for
