collection tube, and the eluant will flow through the carousel to waste out
the rear of the collector.

5.4 Waste Collection Port

All spills on the top of the case and carousel, as well as waste eluant

within the carousel, drain to a central waste-collection port at the rear of
the instrument case. From this port, a drain tube passes out through the
rear of the case. This tube may be directed into a waste-collection vessel,
or an extension tube may be attached to the provided barbed union fitting.

Note: To provide proper drainage, the waste-collection vessel must be
positioned so that the exit of the drain tube is no higher than the bot-
tom of the fraction collector case.

Section 6

6.1 Stop (Standby) and Run

The Model 2110 Fraction Collector powers up automatically in the

Stop or Standby mode, with the

LED lit. When in the Stop mode, the

collection mode, either Time or Drops can be selected, and the time inter-
val or number of drops to be collected per tube can be set. When in the
Run mode, the Arrow keys

are inactivated.

6.2 Collection Modes

The Model 2110 Fraction Collector will collect fractions by counting

the number of drops or by a specified time interval per tube. The collec-
tion mode is selected using the

key on the front panel. In either mode,

time and drop count are continuously monitored, so that you can switch
between the two collection modes, monitoring time and drop count since
the last tube advance.
