Fraction Collectors
Section 5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction
The fraction collector is designed for years of use in typical labo-
ratory applications. The recommended maintenance tasks pri-
marily address the fluid path, drains, and the fraction collector
exterior. These tasks should be performed as needed to ensure
the optimum performance of items such as the diverter valve and
drop counter, as well as protect the exterior finish. Its mechanical
parts do not require periodic adjustment or lubrication.
The fraction collector does not contain user-serviceable parts.
Should your instrument require service, refer to section 5.3 for
assistance.
5.2 Maintenance
Perform the following tasks as necessary:
• Tubing Inspection, section 5.2.1
• Rack and Drip Tray Cleaning, section 5.2.2
• General Cleaning, section 5.2.3
• Fluid Path Cleaning, 5.2.4
• Drop Counter Cleaning, 5.2.5
WARNING
If collecting fluids that can produce flammable vapors,
perform the Tubing Inspection (5.2.1), and the Rack and
Drip Tray Cleaning (5.2.2) at least monthly.
5.2.1 Tubing Inspection
WARNING
Risk of fire or equipment damage. Faulty tubing, fittings,
and drains may allow organic solvents to pool in unsafe
areas, creating a potential for dangerous levels of
flammable vapors. Improper draining may damage the
instrument’s internal components.
If the fraction collector is used with solvents that produce flam-
mable vapors, perform a tubing inspection monthly:
1. Visually inspect the diverter valve inlet and waste lines.
The tubing must be free of any damage, kinks, or deterio-
ration. Fittings should show no signs of leaks.
2. Visually inspect the drip tray drain tubing. The tubing
should be free of any damage, kinks, deterioration, or
obstructions.
