How do I prepare the Sodium Chloride Solution for my 100Xs?

The 100Xs is designed to operate utilizing a 4% mixture of sodium chloride by weight in the main aerosol generator reservoir.  A separate replenishment reservoir contains a 0.9% solution.

Main Aerosol Generator Solution:

• To achieve a 4% solution by weight, 40 grams of reagent grade NaCl must be mixed with 1000 ml of distilled water.
• Measure 40 ± 0.001 grams of NaCl on a calibrated balance. Place the NaCl into 1000 ml of distilled water and mix until completely dissolved.

Replenishment Reservoir Solution:

• To achieve a 0.9% solution by weight, 9 grams of reagent grade NaCl must be mixed with 1000 ml of distilled water.
• Measure 9 ± 0.001 grams of NaCl on a calibrated balance. Place the NaCl into 1000 ml of distilled water and mix until completely dissolved.

Unused solution for either the Main Aerosol Generator or the Replenishment Reservoir may be stored in a tightly sealed container for a maximum of one (1) week.  Expired solution should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
