Operation of the Derivatizer
01
At the push of a button, the transparent hood effortlessly rises, allowing to access the plate tray for convenient placement of their HPTLC plate.
02
After the tray is inserted into its original operating position, the hood is lowered and completely sealed to prevent aerosols from leaking to the outside.
03
The user fills the required reagent volume into the appropriate nozzle, selects the optimum spraying level and starts the reagent transfer. To meet the divergent physicochemical properties of the reagents, e.g. viscosity, four different color-coded nozzles are available, and the user can select from six spraying levels changing the reagent throughput.
04
The nozzle generates an extremely fine reagent aerosol, which evenly distributes in the chamber and gradually settles down on the TLC/HPTLC plate.
05
Any residue remaining in the gas phase is automatically aspirated by the integrated pump and collected in the wash bottle behind the instrument.
06
After the reagent transfer has been completed, the hood lifts at the push of a button and the TLC/HPTLC plate can be removed for further processing.
