Running a Method and Collecting Fractions
You can schedule a method to start immediately or add it to the run queue to run at
a later time. You can start a run immediately only if there are no scheduled methods
in the run queue. If there are methods in the queue, new methods are added to the
end of the queue. Queued methods run sequentially. You can remove a scheduled
method from the queue if it is not running, but you cannot reorder the queue. You
start queued methods in Manual mode from either the touch screen or ChromLab.
When you schedule multiple runs of a method, you can specify to append or overlay
fractions.
Collecting Fractions Using the BioFrac Fraction Collector
Append Fractions — the collection skips a tube between runs and goes to the next
available tube.
Overlay Fractions — the collection for all runs uses the same set of fraction tubes.
Collecting Fractions Using Outlet Valves
Append Fractions — the collection goes to the next available port after each run
and does not skip a port. When the last port is used, collection restarts at the port
defined in the method.
Overlay Fractions — the collection starts at the port defined in the method and
uses the same ports for all runs. When the last port is used, collection restarts at the
port defined in the method.
