Summary

INSTALLATION

Gas Source Requirements

A clean, oil-free gas source is essential to prevent sample contamination. Compressed nitrogen is recommended.

SPE RACK CONFIGURATIONS and USE

Column Rack Configurations

Describes various collection tube racks and sizes compatible with the processor.

Rack Installation and Positioning

Explains how to physically key and position the tube and column racks for proper operation.

COLUMN COMPRESSION and DECOMPRESSION

Activating Compression

Pressing two blue buttons simultaneously to open or close the compression mechanism.

Decompression Procedure

Similar to compression, requires simultaneous button presses until movement stops.

MANIFOLD OPERATION

Restrictor Manifold Principle

Explains how flow restrictors maintain manifold pressure and gas usage efficiency.

Row On/Off Control

Utilizes toggle switches to control gas flow to individual rows of 12 columns.

EXTRACTION FLOW ADJUSTMENT

Precise Flow Adjustment

Uses rotameter and needle valve for slow, precise flow control (0-2.5 SCFH).

Maximum Flow and Drying

Adjusts pressure via MAX FLOW regulator for viscous samples or column drying.

Selector Valve Function

Turns nitrogen flow on/off; should be off during decompression.

Locking Regulator Adjustment

Regulator knob pulls out to adjust and pushes in to lock desired pressure.

MAINTENANCE

Solvent Spill Cleanup

Clean solvent spillage or overflow immediately to prevent instrument damage.

Column Seal Cleaning

The silicone rubber column seal can be cleaned with methanol.

WARRANTY

Warranty Terms

The processor is warranted for 90 days; repairs depend on non-abuse.

Spare Parts Information

Spare parts like waste bins and seals are available beyond the warranty period.

HEATED MANIFOLD OPTION

Benefits of Heated Gas

Provides heated gas to improve analyte recovery and solvent selectivity.

Heater Specifications

Operates on 110 VAC at 13 amps; preset to 45°C with minimal heat-up time.

CEREX SPE Columns

Cerex Technology Description

Patented technology using microparticulate sorbents for high capture efficiency.

Benefits of Microparticulate Sorbents

Smaller paths ensure better analyte trapping, higher recovery, and reproducibility.

Breakthrough Comparison

Illustrates Cerex's higher analyte capture capacity via a loading experiment.

PRODUCT SELECTION

Cerex Sorbent Chemistries

Available in non-polar, polar, ion-exchange, and mixed-mode chemistries.

Column Formats and Sizes

Offered in syringe-barrel tubes and 96-well formats with various bed sizes.

CEREX PROCESSORS

Processor Advantages

Offer outstanding performance and advantages over conventional vacuum manifolds.
