Installing the NGC Fraction Collector
Introduction
The NGC Fraction Collector provides versatile options for
preparative and analytical chromatography applications. The
high-capacity and flexible rack options enable fractions ranging
in size from milliliters to liters to be collected and accessed
freely during a purification run.
Setting Up the NGC Fraction Collector
This quick guide outlines the process of installing and plumbing
the NGC Fraction Collector to your NGC System. The fraction
collector (FC) can be installed on a laboratory bench or in a
coldroom or chromatography refrigerator.
1
Open the shipping box and remove the foam packaging.
Carefully lift the FC from the box. Do not lift the FC by the
gantry; reach down and lift it from the base. Grip the base
of the FC by the sides to lift from the shipping box.
Check the box for the tubing kit, external power supply,
and USB cable. The tubing kit contains:
92 cm green polyetheretherketone (PEEK) tubing
■ ■
from NGC union to dispense head for F100 systems
(fittings on both ends)
92 cm orange PEEK tubing for F10 systems (fittings
■ ■
on both ends)
92 cm clear fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP)
■ ■
waste line from dispense head to union (fittings on
both ends)
150 cm clear FEP waste line from union to waste
■ ■
bottle (fitting on one end)
Black magnetic union to be attached to side of NGC
■ ■
System to act as anchor point for FC tubing; position
as necessary to avoid kinking any of the tubes
