stir plate.
2. Obtain either the 100 ml or 500 ml reservoir, depending on which one will be used during
processing.
3. Slide the reservoir into the reservoir base back end first so that the graduations and feed port
face forward.
4. Place a magnetic stir bar into the reservoir.

4.5 Tubing Installation – Reservoir to Pump Head to Holder Connection
1. Remove the tubing from the “A” tubing pack.
2. Connect the tubing to the pump head following the Tubing Loading and Unloading procedure
on page 6 and 7 of the Easy-Load®3 Pump Head Operating Manual.
3. Take the end of tubing that enters the pump head from the right (when facing the pump) and
connect it to the barbed fitting on the feed port of the reservoir. Connection is made by
gently pushing the tubing onto the barbed fitting and turning the tubing cap clockwise until
the tubing is secure.
4. The feed port enters on the lower, right side of the holder closest to the pump head.
5. Take the end of the tubing that exits the pump head from the left (when facing the pump) and
connect it to the barbed luer-lock fitting on the 3-way feed gauge block.

4.8 System Sanitization
1. Open the stainless steel cassette holder by loosening the two bronze silicone nuts and remove
them from the holder.
2. Remove the two stainless steel washers
3. Lift the end plate off the manifold.
4. Rinse a cut-out gasket with deionized water or WFI. Place the cut-out gasket flat against the
bottom manifold; ensure that the holes in the gasket line up with the holes in the manifold.
5. Place the end plate on top of the cut-out gasket.
6. Install the tie-rod washers on each bolt leaving By hand, screw the nut on each bolt and hand
tighten evenly by alternating from one nut to the other. Bolts must be further tightened to
140inlbs.
7. Using the calibrated torque wrench with an 11 mm (7/16”) deep socket, tighten each hex nut
¼ turn following the torque sequence illustrated below. Tighten the first nut ¼ turn, and
then tighten the second nut ¼ turn alternating back and forth until the torque wrench
"clicks". Repeat this sequence until the wrench "clicks" without turning the nut. The "click"
of the torque wrench indicates that the nut has reached the set point torque value.
Figure 4.13 Torque Sequence
CAUTION: NUTS MUST BE TIGHTENED UNIFORMLY TO AVOID DAMAGING THE CASSETTE.
LEAKAGE MAY RESULT FROM NON-PARALLEL PLATE ALIGNMENT OR OVER
COMPRESSION OF THE CASSETTES AT ONE END.
8. Direct both the retentate and permeate lines to the acrylic retentate reservoir.
9. Be sure all valves are open.
10. Fill the acrylic reservoir with 0.5M Sodium Hydroxide at ambient temperature.
11. Close the pump head and turn on the MasterFlex® pump. Adjust the flow to 120ml/min
using the display panel and control pad on the face of the pump.
12. Allow the sanitizing solution to recirculate for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
13. Turn off the pump and drain the reservoir to waste.
14. Refill the reservoir with DI water and direct the retentate and permeate lines to a waste
vessel.
15. Turn on the MasterFlex® pump, adjust the flow to 120ml/min using the display panel and
control pad on the face of the pump.
16. Flush the entire volume of DI water to the waste vessel.
17. Turn off the pump and remove the cut-out gasket reversing the installation procedure
above.
