Cold Trap Setup
The following instructions will help you utilize your BenchTop as a cold trap to
condense vapors from a gel dryer or vacuum concentrator:
1. Position the vacuum concentrator, BenchTop and vacuum pump in a
convenient location with sufficient space to easily connect the units.
2. Place the vacuum cover plate (acrylic plate with stainless steel elbow) on the
gasket of the BenchTop unit.
3. Connect the BenchTop unit to the vacuum concentrator using ¾-inch tubing.
4. Estimate the length of tubing required to adequately reach the back of the
vacuum concentrator without any tension.
5. If necessary, cut the tubing to the proper length and secure both ends with
tubing clamps.
6. Connect the vacuum pump to your BenchTop unit as described in Chapter 2:
