BioOptix™ 10 Section 2 Installation
2.4BioOptix 10 System Preparation
❍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.
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
5.Place the Buffer B inlet line(s) into two liters of solution (such as
