5. When you have finished programming the method, press the toolbar Run button. A dialog box<br />

will ask you to name the run. Accept the default Run 1 <strong>and</strong> click OK. You will now see the Run screen<br />

(Figure 8.27).<br />

Figure 8.27. Run Screen. The toolbar buttons on the left side of the screen enable you to check that the screen display ranges for<br />

UV <strong>and</strong> conductivity are correctly set <strong>and</strong> that the gradient pump pressure limits are appropriate.<br />

The Run Screen<br />

1. Make sure that the high psi value is set to 200 <strong>and</strong> the low psi value is set to 0.<br />

2. Scale the on-screen chromatogram trace display axes by using the scroll bars located on the left axis<br />

to have a maximum value of 2.0 <strong>and</strong> the right axis of the chromatogram window to have a maximum<br />

value of 50 mS/cm.<br />

Start the Run<br />

1. Place tubes in the first two columns of the <strong>Bio</strong>Frac fraction collector rack (approximately 30). The<br />

drophead will automatically move to tube 1 when the run is started.<br />

Ensure that the AVR7-3 valve is in the LOAD position (L). If it is not, return to the Manual screen by<br />

clicking the toolbar Manual button <strong>and</strong> clicking on valve position L.<br />

Ensure that the 5 ml sample loop is connected to ports 3 <strong>and</strong> 6 of the inject valve.<br />

Fill a clean 10 ml syringe using the needle provided with 5–6 ml of your soluble fraction. Be careful to<br />

avoid getting any air bubbles in the syringe.<br />

Insert the syringe needle into the injection port (port 2) on the AVR7-3 valve <strong>and</strong> completely fill the loop<br />

with the Soluble Fraction of GST-DHFR-His. Do not remove the syringe from the injection port<br />

after filling the loop or the sample will siphon to waste.<br />

To launch the run, click on the green Start toolbar button.<br />

When the run is finished, the pumps automatically stop <strong>and</strong> a “Run Finished” message appears in the<br />
