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 published pressure 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. CAP LOCK, SP-400-01 O RING, SP-400-07 CAP SEAL, SP-400-02 BODY, SP-400-05 FIG 1 FIG 2 FIG 3 FIG 4 2.2 Hand tighten the cap lock (SP-400-01, FIG 1) on the packer body (SP-400-05,FIG 4) and do not overtighten, as galling may occur between the stainless steel surfaces; the O-ring seals at high pressure. Scratches, nicks or dents on the sealing surface of the Cap seal (SP-400-02, FIG 3), Nanobaume body 5

(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. 3. ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION TO PRESSURE SOURCE PLEASE NOTE; THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRITTEN TO INCLUDE COMPONENTS FROM THE SP-403K-M1 STARTUP KIT. CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASED THE SP-400-M1 BASE UNIT MAY PURCHASE THESE PACKING ACCESSORIES SEPARATELY. 3.1 Remove the SP-400-M1 (FIG 5) and SP-403K-M1(FIG 6) components from the shipping container. Components shown on Page 4 FIG 5 FIG 6 NANOBAUME NANOBAUME ACCESSORY KIT SP-400-M1 KIT SP-403K-M1 KIT 3.2 Fit the Gauge Tee (SP-058) with the pressure gauge (SP-087). Wrap the ¼ NPT threads 3-4 times with teflon tape (TTB-50) Wrench tighten. 6.

FIG 7 FIG 8 FIG 9 FIG 10 Gauge tee, SP-058 Gauge,SP-087 PRESSURE FITTING, SP-116 SS TUBE, SP046 3.3 Place the SP-116 (FIG 9) nut and ferrule on the end of the SP-046(FIG 10) stainless steel tubing, tighten into the side port of the Nanobaume until tube is secure. The SP-116 is reusable as the ferrule does not swage permanently onto the tube. Connect the free end to the gauge tee (SP-087) and wrench tighten to secure the tube. Note: if a torque wrench is purchased, SP-162 torque to 10 Inch-pounds. If not, finger tighten the nut (Clockwise direction), then wrench tighten ¼ turn then check if leaks under pressure. If leaks occur, reduce pressure, ¼ turn more and repressurize, if leaks, repeat previous steps. Use this technique for tightening all Stainless steel nuts in this publication.) FIG 11 Pressure relief Valve with bottom drain, SP-050 3.4 Using the second piece of SS tube (SP-046), Connect one end to the Pressure gauge Tee (SP-087), and other end to the Pressure vent valve (SP-050, FIG 11). Wrench tighten both until tubes are secure using technique described in 3.3. The assembly should look like Fig 12. 7.

FIG 12 FIG 13 FIG 14 SET UP SS TUBE, SP-055 REGULATOR ADAPTER SP-110 3.5 Connect the uppermost port of the Vent valve (SP-050, ) to the pressure source. First use the Long piece of SS tube (SP-055, FIG 13) connect using fitting provided on the vent valve (upper port, right side of FIG 11) tighten to secure the tube. Take the SP-110, FIG 14 Pressure Regulator Adapter,1/4" male NPT end and apply teflon tape to threads wrapping 3-4 times around then thread into the port of the pressure regulator(not provided). Take the free end of the tubing and place into the other end of 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. A precision 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. FIG 23.5 NUT, FERRULE ASSEMBLY SP-130/SP-133 FIG 15 FIG 16 FIG 17 FIG 18 COLUMN END, CE-003 SS FERRULE, SP-092 SS NUT, SP-102 SS UNION, SP-089 4.2 Assemble the Column end fitting columns 1/32 OD or smaller, use the CE-003 From the CE-003 kit, 8.

place a 0.5um screen (SP-088, not shown) into the Micro Union (SP-089, FIG 15). Ensure that the screen is set in flat against the bottom web of the union. Place the 1/32 inch OD tube or fused silica ( adapted to 1/32 OD ) thru the nut (SP-102, FIG 17) and ferrule (SP-092, FIG 16) These are provided with the union. Insert the column body into the union and while exerting pressure on the tube into the union, tighten the nut using two wrenches. Use similar procedure for the CE-006 kit for 1/16 od column bodies, follow steps 4.2. FIG 19, FUSED SILICA WITH FIG 20,TS-015 ADAPTER SLEEVE FIG 21, PEEKSIL WITH SP-130/SP-133 FERRULE SP-015, NUT SP-014 FIG 22 FIG 23 FIG 24 FIG 25 SP-130 SS NUT SP-133 FERRULE SP-015 FERRULE 360um SP-014 SS NUT use SP-133 or SP-134 ferrule use sp-130 nut use SP-014 nut use SP-015 ferrule 4.3 The nut ferrule fused silica should look like fig 19. The sleeve on the fused silica will bring it up to an outside diameter of.032 (1/32") to fit the column end fittings (CE-003) Note; that the use of the fused silica will reduce the pressure rating of the column and packer to 6000 psig. 9.

4.4 LC-MS tips are inserted into the appropriate ferrule, and/ or sleeve depending on OD, and do not require end fittings as the tips are fritted already. 5. SLURRY PREPARATION 5.1 PLEASE NOTE: AS CAPILLARY PACKING IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE, SOME TESTING WITH VARIOUS SOLVENTS OR COMBINATIONS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR OPTIMAL PACKING. 5.2 Weigh 100 mg of bulk packing material into the 2ml vial (VL-002, FIG 26) Add 1.5ml of appropriate solvent, or buffer (Hexane for normal phase, Propanol or acetonitrile for reversed phase, weak buffer for ion exchange) to the vial. Add the stir bar ( SP-085, FIG 27) FIG 26 FIG 27 FIG 28 VIAL VL-002 STIR BAR SP-085 VIAL INSERT SP-125 5.3 Place the vial on a magnetic stir plate. Allow the slurry to stir for 5 minutes or until the stationary phase is well wetted. Once the bonded phase is wetted insert the vial into the packer body cavity using the vial insert (SP-125, FIG 28) provided to hold the vial in place 10.

6. ATTACHMENT OF COLUMN TO NANOBAUME FIG 29 FIG 30 FIG 31 FIG 32 FUSED SILICA 360um PEEKSIL 1/32 1/16 OD FERRULE SP-134 SP-014/SP-015 SP-133 nut ferrule assembly, FIG 33 SLEEVED FUSED SILICA nut SP-130/ ferrule SP-133 FIG 34 COLUMN ON NANOBaume nut SP-130/ ferrule SP-134 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 3) if not accomplished already. 6.2 Unscrew the Cap Lock (SP-400-01,FIG 1) counterclockwise and remove the Cap Seal (SP-400-02, FIG 11.

FIG 34 FIG 35 COLUMN INSTALLED NANOBAUME SETUP IN CAP SEAL 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. 13.

FIG 36 COLUMNS READY FOR ENDS ATTACHEMENT, SCREENS NOT SHOWN 8.3 Install a suitable column end fitting onto the open end of the column (SECTION 4) (FIG 36) 8.4 The newly packed column may be attached to a pump to flush with suitable solvent to waste. The column is now complete and ready for use. NOTE: WE OFFER NO GUARANTEE REGARDING COLUMN TO COLUMN PACKING REPRODUCIBILITY, COLUMN EFFICIENCY (THEREOTICAL PLATES ACHIEVED), OR COLUMN SELECTIVITY OR TAILING FACTORS, CAPILLARY COLUMN PACKING IS AT THIS STAGE, A HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUE. WARNING; PACKING A HIGH PRESSURE CAN BE HAZARDOUS, DO NOT USE AT PRESSURE ABOVE RECOMMENDED LEVELS (9000 PSIG LIQUID, 3000 PSIG GAS) NOT FOR SFC(SUPERCRITICAL FLUID) column packing with CO2. 14.
