Safety
General SafetyRead this section before installing and operating PLC 2050/2250/2500 Purification Systems.
This instrument is intended to be used in a laboratory environment by trained technical personnel.
For safe and proper use of this instrument, both operating and service personnel must follow the instructions contained in this guide when installing, cleaning, and maintaining the instrument. The user should immediately report any problems or safety concerns to the distributor.
The safety precautions described in this chapter must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of the instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this user’s guide violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Gilson assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
PLC 2050/2250/2500 Purification Systems have been certified to safety standards required in Canada, Europe, and the United States. Refer to the rear panel label on the instrument and the Declaration of Conformity document for the current standards to which the instrument has been found compliant.
Safety SymbolsThe following safety notices may appear in this document:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in personal injury.

ng UnpackingPLC 2050/2250/2500 Purification Systems each weigh approximately 143 lbs. (65 kg) and an additional 22 lbs. (10kg) with packaging. It is recommended that the instrument be moved by more than one person; however, two people are preferable.
Verify that all components from the Unpacking List are included. Any damage to the packing material
or missing elements should be reported to the carrier and vendor immediately. Damage in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. Many carriers must receive a damage claim within seven days of delivery, so report the damage immediately.
Keep the box and packing material for future transport of the instrument.
Do not plug in the instrument if any damage is detected. Powering the instrument in a damaged state may result in serious injury and may damage internal components of the instrument.
Liquid Chromatography (LC) PracticesThis system is designed for chromatographic purposes. It must be operated using appropriate solvents and within specified ranges for pressure, flow rates, and temperatures described in the user’s guide. If it is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
When handling potentially hazardous solvents and samples, it is important to follow standard laboratory safety procedures. Common chemicals used in the laboratory can be toxic, corrosive, flammable, or a combination of these properties.
A list of all safety aspects is outside the scope of this manual but the following points should be considered:
● Ensure adequate ventilation
● Wear eye protection
● Wear gloves when handling chemicals
● Ensure all liquid containers are secure
● No smoking or open flames
● Clean up all spills
Never open a solvent line or valve under pressure. Stop the pump first and let the pressure drop to zero. Wear safety glasses. If a line ruptures or a valve opens under pressure, a potentially hazardous spray of liquid might be generated by the pump.
Depending on the toxicity of solvents used, the system may need to be used in a fume hood.

Important
To ensure the safety of yourself and your coworkers, observe the following:
● Use a 3-wire mains socket with grounded connection. Grounding is necessary to ensure operator safety and proper operation.
● Secure inflammable solvents.
● The temperature of liquids inside the system must be 77°F (25°C) below the lowest flame temperature of any solvents used.
● When not in use, run a clean solvent through the hydraulic circuits. Do not leave buffer in the system, as it may cause blockages and damage the seals.
● Before moving the instrument, the external connections must be disconnected, the hydraulic circuits rinsed and any inlets or outlets plugged.

Ne pas brancher l’appareil si vous constatez un dommage. La mise sous tension d’un instrument endommagé peut entraîner des blessures graves et endommager les composants internes de l’instrument.
Chromatographie Liquide (LC) - Aspects Pratiques Ce système est conçu pour la chromatographie. Il doit être manipulé à l’aide de solvants appropriés et dans les limites de pressions, débits et températures décrites dans le guide d’utilisation. En cas d’utilisation en dehors des spécifications fournies par le fabricant, la protection assurée par l’équipement peut s’en trouver altérée.
Lors de la manipulation de solvants et d’échantillons potentiellement dangereux, il est important de suivre les procédures standards de sécurité au laboratoire. Les produits chimiques couramment utilisés en laboratoire peuvent être toxiques, corrosifs ou inflammables.
La liste exhaustive de tous les éléments relatifs à la sécurité sortirait du champ d’application de ce manuel, mais cependant, les points suivants doivent être pris en considération:
● Assurer une ventilation adéquate
● Port de lunettes de protection
● Port de gants lors de la manipulation des produits chimiques
● S’assurer que les récipients contenant des liquides sont sécurisés
● Interdiction de fumer. Aucune flamme nue à proximité
● Nettoyage en cas de fuite ou débordement
Ne jamais déconnecter une tubulure ou ouvrir une vanne sous pression. Arrêter d’abord la pompe et laisser revenir la pression à zéro. Porter des lunettes de sécurité. Si une tubulure se rompt ou si une vanne s’ouvre sous pression, un jet de liquide potentiellement dangereux peut être généré par la pompe.
En fonction de la toxicité des solvants utilisés, le système peut nécessiter une utilisation sous hotte de laboratoire.

Pum
p 2-Head PumpThe pump can deliver mobile phases at flow rates up to 500 mL/min (depending on the head size installed) with low residual pulsation. The PLC utilizes a high performance, dual piston, reciprocal pump. The pump generates suction through a system of pulleys, belts, and a stepper motor, which drives the cams and pistons. A manual valve at the outlet (black knurled knob) allows users to easily purge or prime the pump; the valve is associated with a pressure transducer, which monitors the pressure in the system.

2- or 4-Way Low
Pressure Valve
2- or 4-Way Low Pressure ValveA 2- or 4-way low pressure valve is located on the left side of the instrument, which permits binary or quaternary elution gradients.
Dynamic Mixing ChamberLocated at the outlet of the pump, the dynamic mixing chamber utilizes a motor-driven, magnetic agitator to thoroughly mix solvents and ensure smooth gradients at high flow rates.
Mixing volume depends on pump model installed:
● 4 mL for a 50 mL/min pump (PLC 2050)
● 12 mL for a 250 mL/min pump (PLC 2250)
● 20 mL for a 500 mL/min pump (PLC 2500)
The volume can be modified by replacing the chamber piston. See the Replace Mixing Chamber Piston section on page 53

lve Through-Loop Injection Valve
The 6-way through-loop injection valve allows users to load a sample in the loop while the system is running. The sample can be manually or automatically injected into the column by switching the valve.
UV-VIS DetectorThe ultraviolet-visible light (UV-VIS) detector measures the amount of light absorbed by a liquid passing through a flow cell at a given wavelength, called absorbance. It is equipped with a deuterium lamp, which uses interference filters to identify desired wavelengths or, with diode array detector (DAD) models, a range of wavelengths from 200 to 840 nm.
With UV-VIS and DAD models, the control software can acquire signals issued from four different wavelengths simultaneously. In addition, a continuous scan allows the acquisition of a full spectrum, which is displayed on the main screen.

To install the column, loosen the Knurled Screw n°1, then slide the column inside the claw and strongly tighten the same screw. To replace the tightening claw, loosen the Knurled Screw n°2 and completely remove it. Replace it with the other holder, and then tighten the n°2 Knurled Screw.
Depending on the total weight and size of the column, it may be necessary to use the additional column holder kit, which increases the maximum external diameter to 115 mm and the maximum height to 300 mm.
Connect the inlet and outlet tubing to the column. Connect the Column Inlet to the Loop Injection Valve Outlet (Automatic: way n°5, Manual: way n°3). Connect the Column Outlet to the bulkhead union (Detector Inlet).
If additional valves are installed, such as the Backflush Valve or Column Switching Valve, proceed as indicated on the system. Use a 3/8" spanner to tighten the nuts and properly crimp the ferrules.

Intr
oduc
tion Introduction
This chapter describes actions that should be performed on a routine basis to ensure long term safe and trouble free operation of the system. The frequency of the maintenance activities is dependent on the nature of the application, such as the solvents used, the volume of the mobile phases delivered by the pump, level of cleanliness of the facility, etc. The pump has been designed for reliability and needs very little routine maintenance when operated correctly.
Reduced accuracy of the pump may be caused by seal wear or to a fault in the check valves. This section provides information and procedures about how to replace consumable parts and how to maintain the instrument.
Clean the PistonsThe high pressure heads incorporate a piston washing device called Cleaning Discs. These are typically used when aqueous buffers are pumped and function to manually wash the buffers from the backs of the seals and to prevent early wear of the seals.
Fit the 1/8" PEEK nuts and ETFE ferrules onto suitable lengths of wide bore 1/8" PTFE tubing. Screw the fittings into position in the Cleaning Discs Inlet and Outlet at the back of the high pressure heads, one for the inlet, and the other for the outlet. The outlet PTFE tubing goes to waste and the process adapted to the inlet is chosen by the user, an association Luer + Syringe or another pumping system.

Replace Mixing Cham
ber Piston
Replace Mixing Chamber PistonThe mixing chamber volume depends on the model of the pump :
● 4 mL for a 50 mL/min pump (PLC 2050)
● 12 mL for a 250 mL/min pump (PLC 2250)
● 20 mL for a 500 mL/min pump (PLC 2500)
These volumes are calculated to give the best performances among the specified flow rate range, but they can be easily modified by replacing the Mixing Chamber Piston.
For example, for a 500 mL/min system (supplied with 20 mL chamber) at 50 mL/min, it can be useful to replace the Chamber Piston to have better mixing.
1. Purge the system with a suitable solvent, switch it off, and then disconnect it from the mains.
2. Disconnect the stainless steel tube from the chamber outlet with a 3/8" spanner with SS nut. You have to entirely remove the tube, i.e., disconnect it also from the injection valve inlet.
3. Remove the four screws (Allen wrench, 4 mm) and carefully pull the piston to remove it.
2. Get a new piston (with its PTFE seal already inserted) to ensure you will install it in the right way (with the threaded hole on top) and slide it gently into the chamber.
3. Replace the four fixing screws and tighten them with a church key.
4. Replace the tubing and tighten the SS nuts with a spanner.

y Pump Head DisassemblyWhen disassembling or reassembling the pump, make sure that each component is clean and take care that the system is assembled in a clean environment.
Remove the pump head if you need to replace the seal:
1. Purge the pump head with a suitable solvent.
2. Switch off the system and disconnect it from the mains.
3. Disconnect the ETFE inlet tube by hand (PEEK nut).
4. Disconnect the stainless steel outlet tube with a 3/8" spanner (SS nut). You have to remove the tube (i.e., disconnect it from the purge valve holder).
5. Remove the four screws with a 3 mm Allen wrench. Slowly unscrew one screw, and then the one diagonally opposite.
6. Carefully remove the pump head. The pistons and cleaning discs (PEEK) will be visible.

al Replace a SealThere are four seals in all: one for every Pump Head and one on every Cleaning Disc.
1. Once the part is removed, carefully take out the old seal to avoid scoring the seat of the seal. If the seat is scored, it is necessary to replace the Pump Head or the Cleaning Disc, which is not under warranty.
2. Thoroughly clean the Seal Seat with alcohol to remove possible worn seal particles and plunge the new Seal in Propanol-2 for lubrication.
3. Correctly position the new Seal on the Pump Head or Cleaning Disc.
4. Use the special tools, A and B, pictured below.

Replace a Seal1. Position the part A and slip the part B into A.
2. Gently hit part B with your fist.
3. Remove the tool and note that the seal is properly placed.
4. Put back the Cleaning Disc on the Piston and insert it inside the Heads Holder.
5. See that the alignment between the Cleaning Disc and the Heads Holder is correct.
6. Put back the Pump Head on the Piston and replace the 4 fixing screws slowly with care, one screw at a time and then the one diagonally opposite.
7. Reconnect the tubing.
NOTICE The life of the seals is dependent on the flow rate, pressure, type of liquids used and temperature, but mostly on the cleanliness of the mobile phase and sample. The presence of micro-particles will cause accelerated wear and tear of the seals. Similarly, any dried buffer particles on the piston will damage the seal.

lve Replace the Check Valve
Abnormal pressure fluctuation or the observation of pump noise on the data system is usually caused by check valve problems. The noise is regular in nature and is caused by pressure and flow variation. Pump accuracy is also compromised. Details on check valve repairs are given below.
There are four check valves, two per head, one for each inlet and one for each outlet (model 10 mm). If they become dirty, they will not open and close correctly for a long time.
1. Purge the pump head with a suitable solvent.
2. Switch off the system and disconnect it from the mains.
3. Disconnect the ETFE inlet tube (PEEK nut).
4. Disconnect the Stainless Steel Outlet Tube with a 3/8" spanner (SS nut). You have to remove the tube (i.e., disconnect it also from the Purge Valve Holder).
5. Unscrew the Check Valve Housing using a 17 mm spanner.

Replace the Check Valve6. Clean the Check Valves by placing them in an ultrasonic bath with methanol and acetone for
approximately five minutes, or replace them with new ones.
7. Ensure that the arrow on the Check Valve is directed downwards or damage to the surface quality, the ball and the seat will occur.
8. Replace the Check Valves. Whether it is for the inlet or the outlet, make sure the arrow is always directed upwards.
9. Finger-tighten the Valve Housing in the Pump Head until you hear a little crunch, which means that the new check valve is properly seated. This noise corresponds to the collapsing of the top and bottom membranes.
10. Reconnect the tubing.
