54 BioPAT
®
Trace | Multi Trace Operating Instructions
Initial Installation
6.1.4 Installing the Tubing Set for the
BioPAT
®
Multi Trace
The Multi Trace tubing set is inserted in the same
way as the steps described previously (for
BioPAT
®
Trace).
Then the additional tubes are mounted.
6.1.5 Connection and Removal of the
Enzyme Reactor
In the methanol/ethanol operating mode, an
enzyme reactor with immobilized alcohol oxidase
is required for enzymatic conversion of the
analytes. Since the enzyme is relatively heat
sensitive and cannot be stored dry, the reactor is
delivered separately from the tubing set. The
enzyme reactor must be installed into the tubing
set intended for this purpose. Due to the storage
conditions at 4–8°C, this should only be carried
out directly prior to initial operation.
NOTICE
If air enters into the enzyme reactor, there is the
danger of a decrease in the capacity of the
enzyme reactor resulting in lower sensitivity.
