1. FlowStart Evo high temperature upgrade CAUTION Use the PEEK microreactor cartridge part of the upgrade kit If the original green cartridge is used above 140 C the cartridge will melt and may damage the FlowStart Evo The FlowStart Evo B 401 can be updated to reach 200 C The upgrade procedure below is intended for technical staff of FutureChemistry and distributors The procedure is not recommended for customers When in doubt please contact FutureChemistry 31 24 711 4029 1 Upgrade Steps 1 1 Removing B 221 or B 221 2 Some FlowStart Evos are still fitting with the 10 port version of the microreactor holder B 221 In order to use the FlowStart Evo at higher temperatures the 4 port version B 221 2 is needed In any case the first step of upgrading the FlowStart Evo to 140 C Just slide the holder to the left as illustrated on the picture below gt move holder by the left g future amp Chemistry 1 2 Replacing bolts The aluminium heating plate is attached with PVDF bolts These bolts cannot be used above 140 C and need to be replaced with PEEK version CAREFUL throughout the whole process please be careful to not shift or move the aluminum heating plate Underneath the plate Peltier elements fit into a recess so there is an edge on the bottom side of the aluminium plate If the plate is shifted the edge could rest on the top of the Peltier elements destroying the Peltier elements First remove t2. he left PVDF bolt and replace it with a PEEK bolt Tightening the bolt will deform the heating plate a little bit This is intended tighten the bolt just enough so that the heating plate becomes completely straight again Left removing the PVDF bolt Right replacing with PEEK bolt During this phase the aluminium heating plate will be a bit warped This is indicated with the red line exaggerating When the PEEK bolt is tightened just enough the aluminium heating plate will be completely straight again Future Chemistry After this do the same with the right bolt You now will end up with a straight aluminium plate positioned level with the instrument Do the same with the right bolt If not e g if you see that the plate is not level it could mean the aluminium plate is shifted with respect to the Peltier elements In that case the plate needs complete repositioning Please contact us to help you with that User s Manual FlowStart Evo Support Future Chemistry 1 3 Replacing microreactor holder B 221 2 Now just slide the holder from the left as illustrated on the picture below Make sure the holder clicks in place lace holder by User s Manual FlowStart Evo Support Future Chemistry 1 4 Reconfigure temperature controller The temperature controller is normally configured with a maximum temperature of 140 C First switch on the FlowStart Evo and follow the steps to reach configuratio
