for the flow of solution into the SDF bag after the digestion process is complete.
12.5 Repeat steps 12.1 – 12.4 for all six stations.
12.6 Re-install Clamp Bar B by setting it on the locator rods. Make sure the letter is on the top of the bar and the
rubber material is facing in toward the instrument.
12.7 Flatten the IDF Flow-Thru bags to remove any wrinkles.
12.8 With fingers away from the clamp bars, press the check mark () button on the Touch Screen Display to pinch
the IDF Flow-Thru bags. The mixing pads will make contact with the bags when Clamp Bar B pinches the IDF
Flow-Thru bags. The following screen will be displayed.
13. Add samples to the IDF Flow-thru bags.
13.1 Open the top of the IDF Flow-thru bag and transfer the sample from a weigh tin into the bag by folding the tin
and then dipping it down into the bag below the tip of the Delivery Nozzle.
When adding sample to the IDF Flow-thru bags it is very important to keep it
below the tip of the Delivery Nozzle so that it can be properly rinsed.
13.2 Rinse the tin with no more than 3 ml of Distilled Water to ensure complete transfer.
