Section 5 PeakTrak

5-15

• P

EAKS

— Click this button to collect only eluted peaks in

the fraction collection tubes during a run.

• N

ONE

— Click this button to divert all fluids during a

run to the waste port.

• Tube Volume — You can also specify the Tube Volume

for collected fluids. This volume can be the default
maximum volume for that tube size (Max option) as
entered in the C

ONFIGURATION

window, or a

method-specific volume less than the capacity defined by
the C

ONFIGURATION

window.

Note

The actual fraction size may be less if a newly detected peak
causes a tube change, or if you click the N

EXT

T

UBE

button.

• Peak — Type or select the desired volume to be collected

in each tube when the system detects a peak.

• Non-peak — Type or select the desired volume to be

collected in each tube when peaks are not detected. This
setting allows you to conserve tubes without diverting
non-peak elute to waste. This setting is ignored when
the peak collection mode is set to Peaks or None.

Peak Detection –

This section of the window contains

option buttons to enable and disable various peak detection
options. When an option is enabled, the window also allows
you to modify the setting details for that peak detection
option. All enabled options will be displayed on the
chromatogram. The options and settings for the ACCQ

Prep

systems, are described below.

Note

You can select up to four peak detection options on the
ACCQ

Prep

systems,. If using more than one option, such as

λ

1

with

λ

2

, the system considers a peak to be present when an

option is true (a logical OR).

•

λ

1

and

λ

2

(wavelength 1 and 2) — Enable these options

to use and configure primary and secondary wavelength
detection.

λ

2

is set to monitor (displayed but not used for

peak detection and cutting) by default. When enabled,
type or select the peak detection wavelength in
nanometers, then click the D

ETAILS

button to configure

additional settings described below.

·

Slope Based — Select this option to enable

·

Slope-based peak detection. When enabled, peaks
will be recorded if the slope algorithm detects a peak
similar to the Peak Width setting.

• Threshold Detection —

Select this option to enable

Threshold peak detection. When enabled, peaks will
start when the detector signal exceeds the

programmed
