Parts for ANKOM RF Gas Production System

The ANKOM Positive Control Capsule Set was developed to simplify the validation test of your RF Gas Production System and provide a positive control curve for comparison within each experiment. The validation test familiarizes the user with the system and ensures the system and all the modules are functioning properly. ANKOM recommends running a validation test at least once per quarter by adding one BLUE capsule, one CLEAR capsule, along with 100ml of distilled water, to each RF1 bottle.

For detailed instructions about running a validation test, see ANKOM RF Service Procedure 004.
 

The RF Gas Production System uses rechargeable battery packs (RF16/RF46).
The RF25 10-Station Battery Charger is used to charge the RF16/RF46 Rechargeable Battery Packs. As the name says, this charger can charge 10 batteries at one time.

This 230v Shaker Water Bath can be used to control the temperature and mixing during an assay.
​Specifications for this product can be found in the attached Information Sheet.

These balls are used on top of the water bath to help maintain temperature.
The balls are hollow in order to minimize condensation that can negatively impact the electronics in the RF1 modules.

ANKOM provides many different bottles that can be connected to an RF1 Gas Production Module within the RF Gas Production System.

The 7130 bottle provides the following features:
    - up to 250ml of space to hold analysis material
    - a protective coating to protect against breakage
    - a Septa Port for sampling gas or fluid

This1.8L Wide Mouth Bottle assembly attaches directly to an RF1 electrical assembly just like all of the smaller bottles. This RF1 configuration provides the largest bottle by volume and by opening available with the RF Gas Production System. If you have a large sample to analyze such as dough, this assembly might work best for your needs.

This battery kit includes the following:
    - 1-Dual Lead RF Rechargeable Battery Pack (RF46)
    - 1-3 ft Battery Extension Cable (RF44)
    - 1-Red Cap with a notch for the extension cable

The RF16 Rechargeable Battery Packs are used to provide power to the RF1 & RF5 Gas Production Module electronics.
Use an RF25 10 Station Charger to recharge your batteries.

This cable (RF44) is used to connect the Dual Lead Battery Pack (RF46) to the 10-Station Battery Charger (RF25).
Longer extension cables are available upon request.

The RF28 Air Purge Assembly can be used to purge the glass bottle prior to an experiment, or to pressurize the module assembly (through the Luer Duckbill Check Valve - 7139) to check for leaks.
For module purge instructions, see RF Service Procedure 2.

This one-way valve is used for adding gas into the glass bottle of an RF1 module. This is often done to purge the bottle of existing gases.
To push gas into the bottle using an Air Purge Assembly (RF28), see Service Procedure 2.

The 7147 Male Luer Cap is used to close off the end of the 7146 Female Luer Port or the 7139 Luer Duckbill Check Valve.

The pressure inside the glass bottle of the RF1 Gas Production Module is measured using a pressure sensor. The data from the sensor is then communicated through the RF2 coordinator to the GPS software using wireless technology.
The RF31 Pressure Sensor Assembly is a replacement part for the pressure sensor.

This wrist strap minimizes the static electricity discharge that can negatively affect the programming on the electronics chip within your RF1 module. You should use this strap whenever you are servicing RF1 electronics, including whenever you install and remove RF16 and RF46 battery packs.

The RF41 Synthetic Grease w/PTFE is a non-toxic lubricant used to assist in creating a seal between the RF34 Viton® Gasket and the module/bottle, and between the PTFE coated septa and the septa port on the bottle.
For application instructions regarding gasket replacement, see RF Service Procedure 11.

The RF22 Vent Valve Cleaning Kit is used to clean the vent valve on a Gas Production Module (RF1).
For Vent Valve cleaning instructions, see RF Service Procedure 6.

The RF2 Base Coordinator facilitates communication between the Gas Production Modules (RF1 & RF5) and the RF3 GPM Software which is installed on a PC.

The Chemical Receptacle is used to house an NaOH (or stronger Base) when performing oxygen consumption studies. The function of the Base material is to scavenge the CO₂ produced by the aerobic metabolism. This produces a negative pressure as the O₂ is consumed and the resulting production of CO2 reacts with the Base.

The Chemical Receptacle includes the following parts:

• 1-Rubber Top Hat
• 1-White Filter
• 1-Metal Washer with a White Filter glued to it
