Prepare waste tubing
Follow the instructions below to prepare the waste tubing.
CAUTION
Fasten the waste tubing. During operation at high pressure the
ÄKTA pure instrument may release bursts of liquid in the waste
tubing. Securely fasten all waste tubing to the ÄKTA pure instrument
and to the waste vessel.
CAUTION
Make sure that the waste vessel will hold all the produced volume
of the run. For ÄKTA pure, a suitable waste vessel should typically
have a volume of 2 to 10 liters.
NOTICE
The maximum level of the waste vessel must be lower than the
bottom of the ÄKTA pure instrument.
