4.9 Fraction collector F9-R
Introduction
The external Fraction collector F9-R is installed as the second fraction collector in the
ÄKTA avant system. It is used to expand the fractionation capabilities of the ÄKTA avant
or used to fractionate volatile solutions for example in reversed phase separations.
Set Node ID
The Node ID of the external Fraction collector F9-R must be set to 1 in order to be used
in the in the ÄKTA avant system. The Node ID is set by positioning the arrow of the rotating
switch at the back of the fraction collector. See Connector panel illustration, on page 132
and Section 9.15 Check and change the Node ID of a module, on page 515.
Function
The external fraction collector can be used for:
•
Fixed volume fractionation
•
Peak fractionation
•
Combined fixed volume fractionation and peak fractionation
•
Collecting fractions in reversed phase separations using organic solvents
Fraction collector F9-R has the following function for reducing sample spill during frac-
tionation:
