1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 The Nanobaume is a compact stainless steel unit designed to pack capillary columns with a silica

bed at high pressure. Its unique sealing design permits rapid assembly, facilitating quick packing

changeover. Simple hand tightening the pressure vessel will seal up to 9000 psig with liquid media,

3000 psig with gas. No tools are required to operate the packing unit, although a set of adjustable

wrenches is useful for initial setup and column assembly. SP-400-M1 and SP-403K-M1 kits include

connections for 360um, 1/32" OD , 1/16" outside diameter (OD) columns, but the NANOBaume will

accept small OD column diameters using the TS-015 sleeve kit. LC-MS spray tips may also be packed.

Component materials include Kel-F, PEEK, 316SS, 304SS, Borosilicate glass, ETFE, and FFKM

perfluoroelastomer. The vial insert (SP-125) supplied with the SP-400-M1 will accept 2 ml (12x32mm)

glass vials. Other inserts are available, (please inquire)

2 PRODUCT SAFETY AND CARE

2.1 The NANOBaume is not for use under Supercritical Fluid conditions. Do not exceed the publishedpressure limits (9000psig liquid/3000 psig gas). Always operate with a safety shield in place. When

packing with liquid media, first flood the Nanobaume and empty column with solvent. If using the TS-

015 sleeve adapters or SP-015, SP-014 Ferrule/Nut for the capillary columns , then pressure limit is

reduced to 6000psig.

(SP-400-05, FIG 4) or O ring (SP-400-07, FIG 2) may impede sealing performance. As the Nanobaume

is primarily 316 SS; ethers, concentrated oxidizing acids are not recommended. (i.e. Hydrochloric acid

at greater than 10%) If small concentrations of aggressive solvents are used during packing, it is

highly recommended that the unit be flushed with a weak solvent after use.

the pressure regulator adapter , and tighten until the tube is secure. If the HPLC pump is being used

for the high pressure line, connect directly to pump using a 10-32 female thread union (SP-095 not

provided)

4. COLUMN ASSEMBLY

4.1 If fused silica tube will be used, cut the fused silica to length using an appropriate cutting tool . Aprecision cutter will ensure a square end without fragmentation of the column end (SP-019, not provided). Secure the column end fitting CE-003 ,( FIG 15), on the exit end of the column using an

appropriate adapter sleeve,(TS-015,FIG 20) with Nut, ( SP-130, FIG 22) and Ferrule,( SP-133, FIG 23).

The ferrule –nut- sleeve fused silica combination should look like figure 21. Tighten until fingertight

and then 1/4” turn more to secure the column to the end fitting. Be sure to push the column body into

the end fitting to eliminate a void between the column end and the web of the union.

6.1 With the correct adapter, most column or tubing with an outer diameter of 1/32inch or less can be attached

to the Nanobaume(FIG 29 OR 30) using the nut ,SP-130 ( FIG 22)And ferrule, SP-133 (FIG23). Larger 1/16” OD

columns can be attached FIG 31, using the SP-130 (FIG 32 )nut and the Ferrule SP-134 (FIG 32) ferrule

combination to the Nanobaume . In the SP-400-M1 kit, three adapter ferrules are provided. For 360 um OD fused

silica use the SP-014 nut with the SP-015 ferrule. For 1/32inch OD tube use the SP- 130 nut with the SP-133

ferrule. For 1/16 inch OD tube use the SP-130 nut with the SP-134 ferrule. These connections are a convenient

way to connect column bodies to the Nanobaume. If the fused silica tube that has a different OD than 360, use an

adapter sleeve from the TS-015 kit and the SP-130/SP-133 combination. The adapters in the TS-015 kit will adapt

fused silica columns of OD of 125 to 495 micron to a new OD of 1/32” to fit the SP-130/SP-133 ,( FIG 33)

NOTE: USE OF FUSED SILICA WILL REDUCE THE OPERATING PRESSURE LIMIT TO 6000 PSIG

6.2 Unscrew the Cap Lock (SP-400-01,FIG 1) counterclockwise and remove the Cap Seal (SP-400-02, FIG

6.3. Using the appropriate ferrule sized to the column OD, insert the column body open end through

the ferrule and the nut (refer to section 6.1) Tighten the nut only finger tight into the threaded port of

the Cap seal (SP-400-02 FIG 34) column will be adjusted in the next step.

6.4 With the column in place, insert the Cap Seal onto the Nanobaume body ,( FIG 33). Insure that the

“O” ring is in place (figure FIG 2) Thread on the Cap Lock (SP-400-01, FIG 1) Hand tighten only as the O-

ring under pressure forms the seal, not the fit of the cap lock and seal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN Push the

column down into the slurry vial until it meets the bottom of the vial, then withdraw the column by 1/8

inch or far enough to clear the rotation of the stir bar at the bottom of the vial.

6.6 Tighten the Nut SP-130 (or the SP-014) to firmly secure the column in place ) Use two wrenches and

the wrench flats on the Cap Seal to further tighten the nut. Overtightening the nut may embed the

ferrule in the Cap seal port. If this problem occurs, take out the nut, and push the ferrule from the

bottom side. Use a straight piece of 1/6” ss tube, or 1/32 Ferrule extraction tools are available. (contact

the factory)

7.0 PACKING THE COLUMN and LC-MS TIPS

NOTE: IF PACKING WITH LIQUID MEDIA, THE PACKING SOLVENT USED SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THAT

USED TO SUSPEND THE SILICA SLURRY IN THE VIAL. IF PACKING WITH GAS , USE OF NITROGEN OR

HELIUM IS RECOMMENDED.

7.1 Place the assembled Nanobaume and column behind a safety shield and onto a magnetic stir

plate(NOT PROVIDED) .The setup should approximate the setup shown ( FIG 35) Turn on the stir plate.

12.

With the bypass on the SP-050 (FIG 11) high pressure valve still open, slowly turn on the pressure

source. The system pressure will vent through the bypass until the bypass is closed.

7.2 Slowly close off the bypass (clockwise turn) on the SP-050 valve handle to gradually increase

pressure to the Nanobaume. If packing with liquid media, first flood the system and column with

solvent. A small amount of air will be trapped inside the Nanobaume body and will be reduced in size by

the pressure and not impact the packing process. Note: do not increase the packing pressure quickly as

this might break the glass vial with differential pressure.

7.3 Set the flow rate to reach a stable pressure by adjusting the nitrogen tank regulator valve, or the

liquid pressure source. As the slurry packs into the column, the pressure will rise. Take care to reduce

the flow rate to ensure that the pressure limits of the end fitting, column to Nanobaume connection or

the SP-400 pressure Vessel are not exceeded. . Flowrate and resulting pressure are interdependent.

(More flow, higher the back pressure generated with a given bed length).

7.4 Monitor the pressure gauge (SP-087, FIG 8), watching for a stable pressure level. Although the

column is packed once this stable pressure is reached, the silica bed is not yet stabilized. Allow the

pressure source to maintain the column pressure for at least 60 minutes, longer is some cases up to

8 hours to reach a stable pack for longer columns.

7.5 For packing of the LC_MS Tips use gas and pack at pressure not exceeding 3000 psig. Tips pack

quickly and visual confirmation is used in lieu of stable pressure reading.

8 COLUMN REMOVAL AND COMPLETION

8.1 Shut off the pressure source and relieve the system pressure by gradually opening the bypass on the

SP-050 valve (counter-clockwise turn).

8.2 Remove the column from the Cap Seal, loosening the nut counterclockwise 2 full turns. Carefully

remove the column from the cap seal. Note , removal of the column without equalizing pressure in all

parts of the NANObaume setup, might cause the packing material to extrude from the open end of the

column. Please refer to FIG 36 , top column is fused silica column with sleeves, middle is the 1/32”

PEEKSil column, and the bottom is a 1/16” SS body. These columns are not shown with the SS screens,

as they are to small to photograph.
