Insert the rack into the fraction collector:3

make sure that the front of the rack (marked with the GE logo) faces outwards
•

•
make sure that the Tray catch snaps into closed position, as shown below.
Note:
•
The rack 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 tubes or bottles.
•
A height exclusion bar ensures that the tubes or bottles are correctly positioned and
cannot damage the Dispenser head.
•
Do not use the Cassette tray when the Rack for 50 ml tubes or the Rack for 250 ml
bottles is placed in the fraction collector.
