AFC-3000 Automated Fraction Collector

Operating Instructions

Tip:

To prevent the universal drip tray from accidentally being lifted out of its

proper position, always remove the rack adapter toward the side as shown here:

Fig. 11: Removing the rack adapter

3.3.6 Adjusting the Drop Former Height

Grasp the diverter valve assembly firmly by the vertical stainless steel element while

rotating the adjustment locking lever upward. This will unlock the slider assembly,

allowing you to move it up and down freely (

→

Fig. 12).

Slide the assembly so that the drop former is several millimeters above the highest

point of the fraction tubes or vials. Adjust as needed.

Grasp the diverter valve assembly firmly by the vertical stainless steel element while

rotating the adjustment locking lever downward. This will lock the diverter valve

assembly so that its height is fixed. If the lever cannot be moved downward easily, the

diverter valve assembly may not be positioned properly in one of the grooves.
