❍ Rack Change Bell – When this option is enabled, the
system provides an audible signal while it is waiting
for the operator to change the tube rack.
❍ Com Port – select the Com Port number to which the
“Y” Serial cable is connected to the PC. Refer to the
documentation provided with your PC.
❍ Fraction Size – type or select the desired fraction size
to be collected by the Foxy 200.
❍ Stroke Volume – type or select the desired stroke
volume of the pump.
A larger stroke volume will reduced the number of
Fill/pump cycles. However, this will limit the possible
sample and pumped volumes to a multiple of the stroke
volume. A stroke volume of 1 mL allows sample and
pumped volumes in increments of 1 mL.
❍ Refill Rate – type or select the desired Refill Rate in
mL/minute.
❍ Pressure Limit – type or select the desired operating
pressure limit, in psi. When exceeded, the system
will reduce the flow rate until the pressure returns to
the normal range.
This empirical value will vary according to the proper-
ties of the stationary and mobile phase. Select a value
low enough to limit the flow rate when a column or tub-
ing blockage may be indicated, but high enough to
avoid false indications when higher column operating
pressures may be the norm.
❍ Default Data Directory – Click the Browse button to
select a default data directory.
4. Click the Save button to accept the configuration settings
and close the dialog box.
2.4 BioOptix 10 System
Preparation
The system preparation assumes that the instructions in sec-
tions 2.1 through 2.3 have been completed. System preparation
primes the tubing with buffer solution to ready the BioOptix 10
for a system verification test run.
To prepare the system:
1. Ensure that BioOptix 10 software is configured and run-
ning on the connected Windows PC.
2. Turn the Power switch on the left side of the BioOptix 10 to
On.
3. Press the Power button on the Foxy 200.
4. Place the Buffer A inlet line(s) into two liters of solution
(such as HPLC-grade water or other appropriate buffer
solution).
5. Place the Buffer B inlet line(s) into two liters of solution
(such as HPLC-grade water or other appropriate buffer
solution).
