4.2 Fractionation
Fractionation in practice
When fractionation is complete or if you re-use outlet positions, empty the outlet tubing
by releasing the SNAP connectors on the outlets and allowing the tubing contents to
drain into the fraction containers.
For unattended fractionation, the maximum number of fractions that can be collected
is 14 (using five installed outlet valves). Plan your fractionation settings carefully to avoid
creating more than the maximum number of fractions. Use Conditional Fractionation
and Peak fractionation to optimize the number of fractions.
If the number of fractions exceeds the number of available outlets, it is possible to re-
use outlet positions for fractionation in different phases (for example, set Fractionation
start position to Out 2 in all phases that use fractionation). This requires that you change
the outlet tubing and fraction containers on re-used positions between phases. It may
be advisable include a Miscellaneous phase to set a Pause timer with a message, to
remind you to change the containers.
