5 PRACTICAL ADVICES
•
Keep all the magnetic coding strips with signal lines clean. If necessary, you can
remove the old or damaged signal lines with mild soap and soft water. Dry it and draw
new lines at the same position.
•
Keep the fixing mat clean and dry. Humidity or dust will provide only low adhesion of
the fixing mat. The fixing mat can be washed with water to regain the original
adhesion power.
•
Take only 10 fractions in a row, even though your stand allows more positions. It will
help you to find the desired fraction more easily and you will eliminate mistakes.
•
The alignment of the tube rack will be easier, if you press it against the front part of
the frame supports. By pushing the magnetic Y-axis coding strip, you will find the
position corresponding to this rack position.
•
By removing the tub sheet from the frame unit, it is possible to use even larger or
taller collecting containers. We can also supply tub sheets to use with funnels or
according to your needs. This makes it possible to use even largest containers for
taking fractions. For such applications a modified tubing holder can also be made.
•
On demand we can also supply an adapter for simultaneous collection of multiple
fractions. This enables to collect simultaneously the streams of several
chromatographic columns. (

6 MAINTENANCE
The LAMBDA OMNICOLL fraction collector does not require any special maintenance. Keep
you fraction collector clean. If necessary, clean it with damp cloth. You may use neutral
detergents or ethyl alcohol.
If you have any difficulties or questions concerning your OMNICOLL fraction collector, please

7 FOR YOUR SAFETY
Thanks to the use of a plug-in power supply giving only a low voltage of 9 V DC the danger
of electrical shock during the use of the LAMBDA OMNICOLL fraction collector and sampler
has been virtually eliminated.
If the fraction collector is not used for an extended period of time, disconnect it from the
mains. A modern miniaturized switching power supply is used, which has only a negligible
consumption of electric current when the fraction collector is not in use.
