21. Optional External Gas Port – An inlet for an internal
pump which supplies pressurized air or user-supplied gas
for solvent level sensing, waste container full detection,
and system/column purges. The external gas should be
regulated to 2–5 psig before connecting the source to this
port.
22. Mains Power – Connects the system to AC line voltage.
23. Waste Ports – From left to right:

too high.
• Diverter Valve Waste – The diverter valve on the
fraction collector arm sends fluid to this waste port.
• Inject Valve Waste – The injection valve is cleaned
after each run. The system directs fluids from this
automatic cleaning routine to this port.
24. Lower Drain Tube – This tube carries away liquids
spilled onto the rack area.
