3. สินค้าหมดview

The Sartorius VPA006 VP 10/20 Expansion Reservoir is an accessory designed to facilitate the processing of larger sample volumes or to provide additional capacity during concentration or purification steps. It typically consists of a stand or rack designed to hold multiple reservoir units, which are clear plastic containers with specific volume markings. The image below illustrates the typical components of the VPA006 system.

Figure 3.1: The Sartorius VPA006 VP 10/20 Expansion Reservoir system, showing a white stand holding multiple clear plastic reservoir units, one containing a blue liquid, and a separate blue stand with a pink/red component. These components are used to expand the capacity of Vivapore concentrators and Vivapure purification kits.

The system includes a main rack for holding the reservoir units and may include additional components such as pipettes or specialized stands for specific applications.

4. การตั้งค่า

Before initial use, ensure all components are clean and free from any packaging debris. The setup process is straightforward:

1. Unpack all components of the VPA006 Expansion Reservoir system.
2. Place the main stand or rack on a stable, level laboratory bench.
3. Insert the individual reservoir units into the designated slots on the stand. Ensure they are seated securely.
4. If using with Vivapore concentrators or Vivapure kits, refer to their respective manuals for specific integration instructions. The expansion reservoir is designed to interface seamlessly with these systems.

5. คู่มือการใช้งาน

The VPA006 Expansion Reservoir is used to increase the working volume for various laboratory applications, particularly with filtration and purification systems.

5.1. Using with Vivapore Concentrators

• Attach the Vivapore concentrator (e.g., Vivapore 5 or 10/20) to the expansion reservoir according to the concentrator's instructions. The reservoir typically sits atop the concentrator, allowing for continuous feeding of the sampเล.
• ค่อยๆ เท sample into the expansion reservoir. Do not exceed the maximum volume indicated on the reservoir.
• Monitor the concentration process as per the Vivapore concentrator's operating guidelines. The expansion reservoir will feed the sample into the concentrator as liquid passes through the membrane.

5.2. Using with Vivapure Ion Exchange Columns/Purification Kits

• Integrate the expansion reservoir with the Vivapure Ion Exchange Column or Purification Kit as specified in the kit's instructions. The reservoir serves as a larger sample or buffer reservoir.
• เพิ่มของคุณample, buffer, or reagent to the expansion reservoir.
• Proceed with the purification or ion exchange protocol, ensuring the flow rate from the reservoir is appropriate for the column or kit.

6. การบำรุงรักษา

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your VPA006 Expansion Reservoir.

6.1. การทำความสะอาด

• After each use, disassemble the reservoir units from the stand.
• Wash all components thoroughly with a mild laboratory detergent and rinse extensively with deionized water.
• For sterilization, consult the specific material compatibility of the reservoir components. Many plastic labware items can be autoclaved or chemically sterilized.
• Allow all components to air dry completely or dry with a lint-free cloth before storage.

6.2. การจัดเก็บ

Store the clean and dry reservoir components in a clean, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7 การแก้ไขปัญหา

While the VPA006 Expansion Reservoir is a passive accessory, issues can arise from improper handling or integration.

• การรั่วไหล: Ensure all connections to concentrators or columns are secure and that the reservoir unit is properly seated in its stand. Check for cracks or damage in the plastic components.
• Poor Flow: If the reservoir is feeding a filtration or purification system and flow is impeded, the issue is likely with the connected device (e.g., clogged membrane, column). Refer to the manual for the primary device.
• การปนเปื้อน: Always ensure proper cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed. Use only clean, deionized water for rinsing.
