Air trap valve and air trap

Introduction
This section describes the air trap valve and the air trap. For information on how to fill
and empty the air trap, see the ÄKTA pilot 600 Operating Instructions.
The purpose of the air trap is to trap air that has been introduced into the flow path. The
purpose of the air sensor in the air trap valve is to detect and report all air in the flow
path. Air reaching the column could decrease the column performance.
