HPLC fraction collector FRC-40

Overview

• Designed for preparative liquid chromatography fraction collection.
• Space-saving design; up to six fraction collectors can be connected simultaneously.
• Compatible with multiple rack types to match intended tube volumes.
• Example maximum capacity: up to 3,240 fractions (6 FRC-40 units with 10 mm tubes).

FRC-10A
A proprietary band function enables accurate fraction capture even when peak elution time varies, by detecting the target component according to chromatogram variations. When connected to workstation software, fraction collection can be simulated on-screen to verify programs before run.

Drive system and collection options

• Drive: arm-movement X-Y system for precise nozzle positioning.
• Collection method: selectable solenoid valve or direct-through nozzle.
• Fraction modes: manual or programmed collection by combining up to 14 parameter types (e.g., slope, level, band).
• Number of fractions (FRC-10A): 16 to 144.
• Compatible tubes: glass (3.5, 5, 20, 32, 50 mL) and polypropylene (4.5, 5, 25, 50 mL), or user-supplied tubes.

Additional information
FRC-10A fraction collector is required to control CBM-20A / 20Alite or SCL-10AVP.
