3. Repeat step 2, using a towel dampened with clear water. This process removes any
remaining contaminants.
4. Dry the fraction tray, fraction collector cabinet, and fraction collector arm using a dry
towel. The AFC-3000 must be thoroughly dry before you turn the fraction collector
power on.

7.2.2 Weekly Cleaning

Although cleaning the fraction collector daily removes spills and contaminants from most
of the fraction collector components, it is necessary to clean the AFC-3000 more
thoroughly once a week. To do so, complete the following steps:
1. Shut down and unplug the fraction collector.
2. Remove the rack.
3. Wipe the fraction collector exterior, base and tray until they are clean, using a towel
dampened with a lab-grade cleaning agent, followed by a towel dampened with clear
water.
4. Replace the rack on the fraction collector tray.

7.3 Checking for Leaks

Several of the fraction collector components have a limited life and will wear out under
normal use; the drop former, eluent tubing and the rinse station tubing. Standard
maintenance procedures require that you periodically check these components for leaks. To
do so, complete the following steps:
1. Shut down and unplug the fraction collector.
2. Visually inspect the drop former, eluent tubing and rinse station and tubing for leaks
or signs of deterioration or salt loading.
If you detect a leak or other damage to a fraction collector component, you must replace it.
