1 Introduction
1.1 Instrument description
The 815 Robotic Soliprep systems are automation systems suitable for a
variety of uses. They have been designed exclusively for utilization in facto-
ries and laboratories and cover a wide range of applications. Soliprep sys-
tems can be used for automation purposes wherever a complex sample
preparation of solid substances is required, e.g. for pharmaceutical or food
analysis.
The Robotic Sample Processors, which have proven their worth for many
years, form the basis for a versatile system that has been expanded to
include opportunities for the dispersion, filtration and bottling of samples
of all sorts. This versatile concept can be expanded as required.
Thanks to the integration of high-performance communication interfaces
(USB, RS-232), they can be incorporated seamlessly into a variety of instru-
ment systems, and not only those manufactured by Metrohm. Operation
by the high performance tiamo™ or MagIC Net™ software ensures not
only user-friendly operation and programming of automation sequences,
but also allows 100% conformity for the entire automation system with
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations. This applies in particular
with regard to regulation 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic records and signa-
tures.
815 Robotic Soliprep for Liquid Chromatography
￭Dispersion, filtration, dilution and sample transfer
The universal automation system for sample preparation in instrumental
chromatography. A workstation equipped with a dispersion device is used
to shred the sample. The dispersion aggregate is cleaned in a special rins-
ing station. The second workstation is equipped for sample transfer with a
universal robotic arm with a Luer adapter. It is used for picking up syringe
needles (for aspirating the dispersed sample and bottling the filtrate in
sealed vials) and membrane filters (for filtering and injecting the sample in
a capillary).
Needles and filters are charged in replaceable inserts. The needles and fil-
ters are automatically stripped off after use and disposed of in a waste
container.
Two versatile dosing drives (800 Dosino) are used as an auxiliary device for
diluting the sample and for transferring the sample solution.

1.2 Intended use
The 815 Robotic Soliprep for LC is designed for the automatic analysis of
larger-sized sample series in analytical laboratories. The functioning of the
automation system comprises crushing, homogenizing and dissolving of
solid samples as well as filtering and transferring the resulting sample solu-
tions. Its main area of application is the sample preparation in instrumen-
tal chromatography. It is not suitable for usage in biochemical, biological
or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam-
ples. Therefore, the use of the 815 Robotic Soliprep for LC requires the
user to have basic knowledge and experience in handling toxic and caustic
substances. Knowledge regarding the application of fire prevention meas-
ures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.

1.4 Safety instructions
1.4.1 General notes on safety
WARNING
Operate this instrument only according to the information contained in
this documentation.
This instrument left the factory in a flawless state in terms of technical
safety. To maintain this state and ensure non-hazardous operation of the
instrument, the following instructions must be observed carefully.
1.4.2 Electrical safety
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part
of the international standard IEC 61010.
WARNING
Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service
work on electronic components.
WARNING
Never open the housing of the instrument. The instrument could be
damaged by this. There is also a risk of serious injury if live components
are touched.
There are no parts inside the housing which can be serviced or replaced
by the user.

Supply voltage
WARNING
An incorrect supply voltage can damage the instrument.
Only operate this instrument with a supply voltage specified for it (see
rear panel of the instrument).
Protection against electrostatic charges
WARNING
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic charges and can be
destroyed by discharges.
Do not fail to pull the power cord out of the power socket before you
set up or disconnect electrical plug connections at the rear of the
instrument.
1.4.3 Personnel safety
WARNING
Personnel are not permitted to reach into the working area of a Sample
Processor while operations are running!
A considerable risk of injury exists for users who undertake manual
interventions to the automatic running of the instrument.
The various drives in a Sample Processor (including Swing Heads) have
considerable power in order to ensure that they are able to be operated
perfectly, even with greater loads. They are equipped with an electronic
overload protection that is activated in the presence of excessive mechani-
cal resistance.
WARNING
The Sample Processor does not provide sufficient protection during the
processing of potentially infectious samples or reagents.
Implement appropriate protective measures.
