Gradient Mixer GM-1  
stirrer blade (6) lifts the liquid entering the mixing reservoir.  
The motor unit is supplied for operation from 100–120 or  
220–240 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz.  
1. Introduction  
The Gradient Mixer GM-1 (120 V, Code No. 19-0495-01,  
230 V Code No. 19-0485-01) consists of two identical  
reservoirs mounted on a base plate; connection between the  
reservoirs is made via a valve. Mounted above the mixing  
reservoir is a motor unit which drives a stirrer blade. The  
outlet from the mixing reservoir to the column is fitted with  
a flow control valve, FCV-1. The Gradient Mixer is  
conveniently supported on a laboratory stand. Capillary  
tubing, 2 m, is also supplied.  
THE STIRRER BLADE (6) is secured to the motor axle by a  
nylon screw (5). It is unnecessary to remove the screw to  
release the stirrer blade.  
THE CONTROL VALVE (12) regulates the flow of liquid  
between the two reservoirs. It is fully open when screwed out  
one complete revolution from the closed position.  
THE FLOW CONTROL VALVE (18) is a needle valve  
designed for shut-off as well as flow control. The valve  
nipple accepts capillary tubing 1.6–1.9 mm o.d. Eluent flow  
is regulated with the large knob (A). The line on this knob  
and the markings on the valve housing can be used as a flow  
rate guide. The valve can thus be opened to a previously  
determined position to obtain a given flow rate. To obtain  
reproducible flow rates the valve should always be returned  
to the shut position before setting.  
2. Safety  
Warning!  
When using hazardous chemicals, all suitable protective  
measures such as protective glasses, must be taken.  
3. Unpacking  
Unpack the equipment carefully and check the contents of  
the carton against the packing list.  
THE STAND MOUNT (21) may be used to support the  
Gradient Mixer on a laboratory stand. When not required,  
it may be removed from the base plate (11) by unscrewing  
the retaining knob (20).  
4. Description  
THE BASE PLATE (11)* is a precision machined  
polypropylene block on which the reservoir cylinders (7) are  
mounted.  
5. Installation  
Sealing between the base plate and the cylinders is provided  
by O-rings (8).  
Connection of tubing to the flow control valve  
1. Cut the tubing cleanly at a 45° angle.  
2. Remove the screw cap and slip it over the tubing.  
THE RESERVOIR CYLINDERS (7) are straight  
polymethylpentene tubes threaded at one end and with air  
inlets at the other end. Each cylinder has a capacity of 300 ml  
and is graduated to 250 ml at 25 ml intervals to give a rapid  
check of the volume of liquid remaining in the reservoirs.  
The mixing reservoir carries the motor unit (1, 2) and the  
other reservoir is fitted with a snap-on lid (3).  
3. Remove the rubber cone with the help of the metal  
stopper.  
4. Push the tubing through the rubber cone until it projects  
about 1 cm.  
THE MOTOR UNIT (1, 2) consists of a fully encapsulated  
low speed 250 or 300 rpm synchronous motor mounted in  
polypropylene housing. A phasing condensor ensures that  
the direction of stirring is always the same and that the  
5. Seat the tubing in the nipple. Slide the cone along the  
tubing, into the nipple.  
6. Finger tighten the screw cap.
