Introduction To The Liberty Blue
secured to the front of the Liberty Blue module. Optimal large capacity pressure rated bottles are available (PN
551240, 551245, 551250, 551255).
Amino Acid Manifolds: There are 27 positions on the manifold for amino acids, 20 corresponding to a specic
amino acid, and 7 extra positions. Each position is labeled using the position number and 3-letter abbreviations of
the amino acids. These positions are designed for use with 50 mL centrifuge tubes for the amino acids and 250
mL bottles for activator and activator base. Optional 120 mL tubes (PN 216560-M, pack of 30) are available for
the amino acid positions. Up to one liter GL45 threaded bottles can be used with optional adapters (PN 909465),
for the activator and activator base positions.
NOTE
The 7 external positions are not available with the Liberty Lite.
Reaction Vessel: The reaction vessel is where the synthesis takes place. Reagents are added to the vessel and
washed out throughout the synthesis of the peptide. There are different size vessels that can be used depending
on the scale of the synthesis.
Fiber Optic Temperature Probe: The ber optic probe is inserted in the top of the reaction vessel. It allows the
system to monitor the temperature of the reaction vessel.
Waste Container: The waste lines carry all of the system’s waste out into an external waste container. The waste
container is equipped with a level sensor and will trigger the system to pause if the container is full. An optional
large capacity (20 L) waste container is available (PN 909490).
