Introduction

Perform simple, efficient evaporation using Thermo Scientific™

Reacti-Vap™ Evaporators. This precision-machined gas

manifold performs either simultaneous or separate delivery

of nonreactive pressurized gas to samples in the Thermo

Scientific™ Reacti-Therm™ I and III Heating/Stirring Modules.

The evaporator simply attaches to the Reacti-Therm heating/

stirring module. The evaporating head tilts back for easy needle

attachment and removal. PTFE-coated needles are available for

applications using strong acids. Each Reacti-Vap evaporator

needle has a Luer-Lok™ hub for leak-proof attachment to

Reacti-Vap evaporators. Needles are available in 4- and 6-inch

lengths.

Assembly instructions

1. Carefully unpack and inspect the evaporator unit. Save

packing materials until unit has been carefully examined.

2. Attach the bottom-mounting bracket to the back of the

Reacti-Therm I and III heating/stirring modules with the four

supplied machine screws, using (4) nylon spacing washers if

mounting to an older unit (models: 187901, 18791, 18340 and

18940).

3. Insert rod into the bottom-mounting bracket and tighten to

secure it in place with the attached black screw knob.

4. Attach needles or plugs to Luer-Lok Tips on the evaporator

head (ﬁnger tighten only). Slide evaporator manifold onto

mounting rod, adjust to desired height and tighten with the

attached black screw knob.

Procedure

1. Attach 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) I.D. tubing (not supplied) to the inlet

port. For added security, fasten tubing with ﬂexible copper wire

or other similar fastener.

2. Position unit such that the needles are slightly within the neck

of the reaction vessels. At the gas tank, adjust pressure at the

second stage of a two-stage regulator to 2 psi while the gas ﬂow

is o.

Note: If the tank pressure is adjusted with the tank’s gas flow,

pressure can significantly increase from back pressure when the gas

flow is later shut.

Caution: To prevent unit from developing leaks, do not exceed 2 psi.

3. Attach tubing to the tank regulator and gently open the gas

release valve to prevent samples from splashing. Block any

unused ports with the stainless-steel plugs, which will prevent

gas ﬂow from the outlets.

Caution: Use a fume hood when working with organic or otherwise

hazardous solvents.

4. After use, rinse needles with distilled water and allow them to dry.

If unit was used to volatilize acids, rinse manifold with an aqueous

bicarbonate solution followed by distilled water.

Reacti-Block aluminum blocks

The illustrated Thermo Scientific™ Reacti-Block™ aluminum blocks

are for use with the Reacti-Therm I and III heating/stirring modules

in conjunction with the Reacti-Vap evaporators. Each block

contains a thermometer well 7.1 mm diameter × 36.5 mm deep.

Block dimensions are 9.4 cm wide × 7.5 cm deep × 5.1 cm high

(3.7” × 3” × 2”). The dimensions listed for the holes are diameters ×

depths.
