Flow path
Introduction
This section gives a generalized overview of the flow path in the ÄKTA pilot 600 instrument.
The flow path in a specific instrument is determined by the modules that are installed
and by the current settings in UNICORN software. Several functions such as the mixer,
air trap and columns can be switched in or out of the flow path as required by setting
to In-line or By-pass in the software.
Flow diagram
The following illustration shows a schematic diagram of the flow path. Optional compo-
nents are marked with dashed outlines.
