NiNTA purification

LEGACY RECIPE

Bottles & inlet assignments

Match each physical bottle to the required liquid, then enter what is available. Liquid names follow the selected method.

LOCAL INVENTORY

Bottle fill is a visual estimate from your entered volume and bottle size. Stock is reduced only after you confirm a completed experiment.

CURRENT
Verified workflow blocks

Purification uses verified legacy combinations. Complete CIP is a separate system-tubing workflow using the original CIP inlet selection. Press Build workflow to apply the draft to Protocol, Flow Scheme and Prime TXT. Need a non-standard sequence? Existing-stage overrides are available in Protocol; arbitrary Lego insertion is not enabled in this verified-composer release.

02 / SAMPLE LOADING & COLLECTION

Fraction volumes

Set every collection window manually. Allowed size: 0.1–14.0 mL/tube, one decimal place.

Pre-elution / 20 mM imidazole size remains editable while collection is OFF; the configured value becomes effective when collection is enabled.

Ready to generate the Prime script?

After the workflow has been built and configured, this validates the current experiment and saves the exact Prime TXT shown in the Prime TXT tab. Build workflow above changes the verified recipe; this button saves the resulting instrument script.

Outlet %B is the preserved Prime A/B concentration/source command field. F.R.A.N.K. does not use it by itself to decide waste vs flowthrough; downstream teaching routing is derived separately from the method stage/state.
