System Requirements

Bench and/or Fume Hood SpaceThe Discover Bio should be positioned on the bench such that access to the electrical outlets for the system is not restricted. The Discover Bio requires the following space for system components:

Discover Bio Microwave Reactor

15” (w) x 20” (d) x 9” (h) [38 cm (w) x 51 cm (d) x 23 cm (h)] (Depth includes 3” (8 cm) clearance behind instrument for unimpeded airflow at rear fan ducts)

Discover Bio Wash Station

11” (w) x 11” (d) x 13” (h) [28 cm (w) x 28 cm (d) x 33 cm (h)]

Bottle Holder with Bottles

9.5” (w) x 9” (d) x 11” (h) [24 cm (w) x 22 cm (d) x 28 cm (h)]

Environmental Conditions

The Discover Bio is designed for indoor used only.

Temperature Range: 50 °F – 85 °F (10 °C – 29 °C) Relative Humidity Range: 0 – 85%

Inert Gas Source

The Discover Bio requires an inert gas source (either high purity grade nitrogen or argon) capable of supplying 20 psi (20 L/min flow) within ten feet (10’)/three meters (3 m) of the rear of the instrument.

Electrical Requirements

The Discover Bio requires electrical power of 120 VAC (60 Hz, 1.7 A) (or 240 VAC [50 Hz, 1.7 A] where applicable). Specific power requirements (120 VAC vs. 240 VAC) can be found on the nameplate affixed to the rear of the Discover Bio Microwave Reactor and on the rear of the Discover Bio Wash Station.

Safety InformationFume Ventilation

The Discover Bio operates as a semi-closed system, with minimal venting of any hazardous solvent fumes through the vent line. The vent line must be vented into a proper chemical fume hood or exhaust line no longer than 10 feet (10’)/three meters (3 m) from the instrument.

In addition, adequate ventilation should be provided for preparation of reagents and solvents for use on the system. All solvent bottles and the Waste Reservoir should be placed into proper secondary containers to minimize the risk of exposure.

Waste Disposal

Waste produced by the Discover Bio can be hazardous. For detailed information on the safety requirements for the chemicals used on the Discover Bio, refer to the appropriate SDS documents.

WARNINGHandle all waste under a fume hood, and wear suitable protective clothing. Dispose of all waste in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal heath and safety recommendations.

Hardware Assembly and Setup

Wash Station Setup

When setting up the wash station, all tubing connections will be made on the rear of the unit. There are eleven ports on the manifold, as well as two stainless steel ports. The proper connections for the manifold are summarized in the table below.

Bottle Setup

1. Place the three 1 L glass bottles in the bottle holder.

2. Set up the Wash Solvent bottle.

2.1. Connect a bottle cap to the 1 L bottle to be used for wash solvent. Ensure the dip tube reaches the bottom of the bottle and that the dip tube filter is in place.

2.2. Connect the bottle tubing to the cap. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to the same port as the dip tube. The unlabeled tube should be connected to the port without a dip tube.

2.3. Connect the other end of the bottle tubing to the rear of the Wash Station. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to position 4. The unlabeled tube should be connected to position 1.

3. Set up the Deprotection bottle.

3.1. Connect a bottle cap to the 1 L bottle to be used for deprotection solution. Ensure the dip tube reaches the bottom of the bottle and that the dip tube filter is in place.

3.2. Connect the bottle tubing to the cap. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to the same port as the dip tube. The unlabeled tube should be connected to the port without a dip tube.

3.3. Connect the other end of the bottle tubing to the rear of the Wash Station. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to position 5. The unlabeled tube should be connected to position 2.

4. Set up the Waste bottle.

4.1. Connect a bottle cap to the 1 L bottle to be used for waste. Cut the dip tube to approximately 1.5” (~4 cm) in length.

4.2. Connect the bottle tubing to the cap. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to the same port as the dip tube. The unlabeled tube should be connected to the port without a dip tube.

4.3. Connect the other end of the bottle tubing to the rear of the Wash Station. The tube labeled “LIQ” should be connected to position 6. The unlabeled tube should be connected to position 3.

Nitrogen and Vent Line Setup1. Connect the nitrogen source to stainless steel port 1. Set the incoming pressure to approximately

20 psi.

2. Cut a piece of tubing (no greater than 10’ (~3 m) in length) and connect it to stainless steel port 2 using a stainless nut. This will serve as the vent line for the entire system. This tubing should be run into a ventilated fume hood.

Product Collection Position Setup1. Cut two pieces of tubing approximately 18” (45 cm).

2. Take one piece of tubing and, using yellow ferrules and nuts, connect one end to the left port on the rear of the Product Collection Position, then connect the other end to position 10.

3. Take one piece of tubing and, using yellow ferrules and nuts, connect one end to the right port on the rear of the Product Collection Position, then connect the other end to position 11.

Standard (25 mL) Vessel Setup1. Open the reaction vessel by pressing the vessel body up into the vessel top and rotating.

2. Connect the sprayhead line.

2.1. Unscrew the sprayhead. Cut a length of tubing (~48” (120 cm)). Thread one end through the center port on the reaction vessel top.

2.2. Put a yellow ferrule onto the end of the tubing so that the smaller end is near the end of the tube, then press the end of the tubing into the sprayhead. Screw the sprayhead back into the sprayhead port to secure the line.

2.3. Using a yellow ferrule and nut, connect the other end of the tubing to position 7 on the rear of the Wash Station.
