Precautions concerning runs in
a cold cabinet
NOTICE
•
Avoid condensation. If ÄKTA avant is kept in a cold room, cold
cabinet or similar, keep it switched on in order to avoid conden-
sation.
•
Avoid overheating. If ÄKTA avant is kept in a cold cabinet and
the cold cabinet is switched off, make sure to switch off ÄKTA
avant and keep the cold cabinet open to avoid overheating.
• Place the computer in room temperature. If the ÄKTA avant
instrument is placed in a cold room, use a cold room compat-
ible computer or place the computer outside the cold room
and use the Ethernet cable delivered with the instrument to
connect to the computer.
When the instrument is kept in a cold cabinet or room, it is important to tighten
all tubing connectors, also the inlet manifold connectors. Otherwise air might
get into the flow path.
Note:
When runs are performed in a cold cabinet, make sure to adjust the target
temperature of the built-in fraction collector temperature control function. The
target temperature is 20°C by default. Settings for the temperature control
function can be edited in the System Settings dialog box of System Control,
or in the Text Instructions pane in Method Editor.
