5 .3 .3 Optional waste diverter valve
If the flow rate of the pumps exceeds 10 mL/
min a waste diverter valve is recommended.
To install the waste diverter valve, proceed as
follows:
Screw the tubing coming from the detector
into the inlet a. Outlet b leads to the collec-
tion arm of the fraction collector.
Ensure that the FEP tubing c is long enough
to reach even the farest corner position of the
collector arm h. Outlet d leads to the waste
bottle.
The waste diverter valve can be fixed at the
back side of the fraction collector.
