Description
The rack type specifies the type of sample
rack or well plate that is installed in the
respective segment (RackType_Blue, _Green,
_Red or _Yellow).
For details on the rack type settings, see
Type Settings ( page 111).
Rotate the required segment of the carousel
to the front to install or remove a sample rack
or well plate.
The tube position identifies the position into
which the next fraction is collected.
The Tube Position consists of the color code
for the segment and the position on the
sample rack or well plate, which are
separated by a colon (for example, B:E8 for
segment B, sample position E8).
Set the start position to the first available
position of the carousel. The segments are
checked in Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green
order to determine the start position. For
example, R:A1 should be the new position if
there is a rack or well plate on Red segment.
Enable or disable the temperature control for
the sample compartment. As a standard, the
temperature control is disabled.
The temperature setting defines the setpoint
to which the fraction collector compartment
is to be cooled or heated. The default
temperature is set to 25 °C (Temperature
Nominal = 25).
