AFC-3000 Automated Fraction Collector
4. Slide the rinse station up or down in its holder so that the lowest part of the drop
former is slightly above the top of the rinse station when it is in the rinse position.
Tip: This setting ensures that the diverter valve assembly will not impinge on
the rinse station during movement, while allowing for the minimum
distance between those two components to minimize the risk of eluent
being dispensed outside of the rinse station barrel. In case of an
obstruction during the movement of the drop former, the device will turn
off after ca. 20 seconds to avoid damage.
5. Turn the fraction collector off and manually move the diverter valve assembly to the
four corner positions of the installed fraction racks. This is to verify that the adjusted
height is suitable for all positions despite any tolerances that may exist.
