3.3.5 Placing Fraction Racks on the Universal Drip Tray
The fraction tube racks in the AFC-3000 accessories kit are shipped unassembled. First,
assemble the racks using the supplied instructions. Then, position them on the universal
drip tray, using care to line up the rack locating pins with the associated recesses in the tray
(Fig.9).
Other rack types such as Thermo Scientific Dionex well-plate sampler racks and the 4 x 96
well plates require special adapters which can be ordered separately. The adapter block is
correctly installed on the drip tray in one position only, when the recess on the bottom of the
adapter block is properly aligned with the elevated parts of the drip tray.
