Sample Block
If the RapidVap was not shipped with the sample block
installed then it must be installed by the user. The
sample block must be securely attached to its mounting
plate. Note the asymmetric hole pattern of the three
thru mounting holes. Locate the three flat washers
either nuts or manifold guides that were shipped with
the RapidVap. The RapidVap Vacuum uses nuts while
the RapidVap N
2
/48 uses guide rods.
Apply a small amount of heat transfer grease that was
shipped with the RapidVap to the end of the
temperature sensor probe that extends up from the
bottom of the chamber. Position the block over the
three studs in the chamber. Install the flat washers and
either nuts or guide rods. Tighten securely.
