1.Mixing the Chemicals
Prepare solutions before use:
For using your ... it is necessary to prepare 2 chemical solutions. In your box, you will find 2 prepared instant mixtures. You just need to dissolve them in distilled water (which you can normally purchase at your local petrol station).
● Run buffer (RB): add 17 ml of distilled water in the 30 ml tube, put it on the shaker and switch it on. At room temperature it will be completely dissolved in less than 30 min.
● Extraction solution (ES): fill the entire content of the bag into the flask. Dissolve it in roughly 500 ml distilled water by shaking it manually. It will dissolve in less than 1 minute.
1.1.Extraction
When the timer turns to green, you can remove the tube from the shaker and place it in the rack.
Use a syringe to take up roughly 2 ml sample. Now place the filter on the filled syringe. Take a 2 ml vial (small sealed tube) and press the sample through the filter into the vial. The sample should be more or less clear now.

1.Mescolare le sostanze chimiche
Preparare le soluzioni prima dell'uso:
Per utilizzare ... è necessario preparare 2 soluzioni chimiche. Nella scatola troverete 2 miscele istantanee già preparate. È sufficiente scioglierle in acqua distillata (che si può normalmente acquistare presso un distributore di benzina locale).
● Run buffer (RB): aggiungere 17 ml di acqua distillata nel tubo da 30 ml, collocarlo sullo shaker e accendere. A temperatura ambiente si dissolve completamente in meno di 30 min.
● Estrazione della soluzione (ES): riempire l'intero contenuto del sacchetto all’interno della fiala. Scioglierlo in circa 500 ml di acqua distillata agitando manualmente. Si dissolverà in meno di 1 minuto.
1.1.Estrazione
Quando il timer diventa verde, è possibile rimuovere il tubo dallo shaker e metterlo sulla griglia.
Usare una siringa per prelevare circa 2 ml di campione. Posizionare il filtro sulla siringa riempita. Prendere un flaconcino da 2 ml (tubo sigillato piccolo) e premere il campione attraverso il filtro nel flaconcino. Il campione dovrebbe essere ora più o meno chiaro.
