To start a new assay immediately after an IDF process completes, follow the steps below.
1. Prepare samples and configure the instrument for a new digestion.
Refer to the IDF/SDF Analysis and TDF Analysis sections of this manual, following all steps except for those that deal
with the precipitation process (SDF). This will include interaction with the Touch Screen Display to verify the instrument
set-up (as shown in the IDF/SDF Analysis and TDF Analysis sections).
Because an SDF process from the previous run is still in progress, you can leave
the bottom of the IDF or IDF Flow-Thru bags outside of the SDF bags for now.
However, you must REMEMBER to place the bottom of the IDF or IDF Flow-
Thru bags in the top of the SDF bags after new SDF bags are installed.
After you confirm your set-up, the following screen is displayed. The Method & Procedure shown in the top right corner
will be the one that you just started in the top bag.
2. Perform the digestion process using the ANKOM
TDF
Dietary Fiber Analyzer.
To perform the new digestion process, press the START button to begin. The following screen will be displayed.
After the pump tube testing is complete, the Status screen will be displayed.
The procedure shown in the top right corner of the Status screen reflects the
procedure that was most recently started. Therefore, if you ran an IDF/SDF
procedure, and then started a TDF procedure before the precipitation process for
the previous IDF/SDF procedure completed, the top right corner of the display will
show “TDF” even though the IDF/SDF procedure is not fully complete.
The material from the IDF or IDF Flow-Thru bags will not empty into the SDF
bags until you verify that new SDF bags have been installed.
Testing pump tubing.
