Operating the Quest 210
WARNING Always use frits in the reaction vessels, even if the reaction is solution
phase. Frits prevent particulates from harming or clogging the Quest Reactor Unit
Lower Drain Manifold.
9. Push in on the Upper Manifold handle buttons and slide the Upper Manifold onto
the top of the reaction vessels. Use the Upper Manifold Levers, found on the side
of the Quest Reactor Unit to press the Upper Manifold male fittings into the tops of
the reaction vessels:
a. Move the Upper Manifold Levers so that the levers are parallel to the table top
and stick out to the sides of the Quest 210 Reactor Assembly.
b. Move the levers in towards the Quest 210 Reactor Assembly.
c. Push straight down onto the levers.
10. Adjust the Agitation Stops to the appropriate height. Typically, the maximum
magnet stroke height should be below the level of the reaction solution.
a. The lower stop sets the maximum upwards stroke of the mixer, the upper stop
sets the minimum stroke. The upper stop (located within the upper "shell"), is
pre-set and generally does not need adjustment.
b. Use an Allen key (hex wrench) to loosen the lower agitation stops and retighten
at the desired position. Raise the stop to reduce the upper stroke position. This
is somewhat a trial and error process.
c. A typical mixing stroke range would be from just above the frit to just below the
liquid level of the reaction vessels.
d. These stops can also be adjusted later during the synthesis as liquid levels
change due to reagent additions.
