Outlet Valve

The outlet valve enables the system to direct the flow to the BioFrac™ fraction

collector, to waste, or to another user-defined location.

The outlet valve has 12 defined outlet ports and one inlet port. The active ports are

identified by LEDs. Green LEDs indicate that the flow through the port is from the

system pumps. Blue LEDs indicate that the flow is from the sample pump. The

outlet valve enables the system to collect large-volume fractions. This can be done

in conjunction with collecting small-volume fractions on the BioFrac fraction

collector.

Tip:

In Manual mode (from the System Control tab in ChromLab), you can

select a specific port on the outlet valve through the Fraction Collector dialog

box. To open the dialog box, touch or click the outlet valve in the fluidic

scheme.
