ActionStep
Insert the tray into the fraction collector:6
•
make sure that the front of the tray (marked with the GE logo) faces outwards
•
position the tray and slide it into the fractionation collector until it reaches the end
•
make sure that the Tray catch snaps into closed position, as shown below.
Note:
•
The tray can tilt slightly when not fully inserted into the fraction collector and may harm
the fractionation arm. The tilt is due to the height difference between the door and the
floor of the fraction collector. The tendency to tilt is affected by the placement and
weight of the cassettes.
•
A height exclusion bar ensures that the tubes or deep well plates are correctly positioned
and cannot damage the Dispenser head.
Close the door. Make sure that it closes properly.7
Result: After the door has been closed, the fractionation arm scans the cassette type
code of each cassette to identify the cassette types. If deep well plates are used, the in-
strument also identifies the types of deep well plates.
Note:
If the tray is inserted with the front of the tray facing the wrong way it will not be possible
to close the door.
