collection tube, and the eluant will flow through the carousel to waste out
the rear of the collector.
5.4 Waste Collection Port
All spills on the top of the case and carousel, as well as waste eluant
within the carousel, drain to a central waste-collection port at the rear of
the instrument case. From this port, a drain tube passes out through the
rear of the case. This tube may be directed into a waste-collection vessel,
or an extension tube may be attached to the provided barbed union fitting.
Note: To provide proper drainage, the waste-collection vessel must be
positioned so that the exit of the drain tube is no higher than the bot-
tom of the fraction collector case.
Section 6
Stand Alone Operation
This section describes the stand-alone operation of the Model 2110
Fraction Collector. Refer to Section 7 for information about connecting
the Model 2110 to the Model EP-1 Econo Pump, the BioLogic LP, the
BioLogic System, or Bio-Rad’s preparative electrophoresis systems..
6.1 Stop (Standby) and Run
The Model 2110 Fraction Collector powers up automatically in the
Stop or Standby mode, with the LED lit. When in the Stop mode, the
collection mode, either Time or Drops can be selected, and the time inter-
val or number of drops to be collected per tube can be set. When in the
Run mode, the Arrow keys
are inactivated.
6.2 Collection Modes
The Model 2110 Fraction Collector will collect fractions by counting
the number of drops or by a specified time interval per tube. The collec-
tion mode is selected using the
key on the front panel. In either mode,
time and drop count are continuously monitored, so that you can switch
between the two collection modes, monitoring time and drop count since
the last tube advance.
