Precautions and Intended Use
The AquaPrep is designed to remove dissolved air from water for subsequent use in particle
size analysis with Micromeritics’ Saturn DigiSizer
®
. If not removed, dissolved air can gener-
ate tiny bubbles which will distort the precision of the DigiSizer analysis.
Tap water varies greatly in its dissolved air content and the presence of debris. This water must
be deionized and well filtered before using with the AquaPrep. Filtering the water through (at
least) a 1-micron filter will greatly extend the life of the hydrophobic capsule by means of
which air is removed.
The AquaPrep only works with water; do not use any other liquid. Do not use water
that contains a detergent or wetting solution.
Use the AquaPrep only with deionized water that is final-filtered through, at least, a
1-micron filter.
