Fraction collector: high capacity in a small space
The Gilson PrepFC fraction collector, now available from Anachem, is described as an ideal solution that includes a three-way valve providing flow rates up to 200ml/min
Plate preparation workstations have high capacity
In addition to pipetting, plate gripping, and moving capabilities, the workstations can interface with other laboratory equipment such as washers, mixers, incubators, and readers
Disposable tips increase throughput
The addition of disposable tips to liquid handler offers an important tool for including DNA probes, PCR preparation, automated sample prep and electrophoresis
Optional wireless operation through the new Pocket PC together with PrepFC's intelligent software brings enhanced levels of control and usability enabling remote monitoring of experimental progress.
The control software features an easy-to-use interface for multiple collection including different modes of slope, level, time and volume that can all be viewed simultaneously within ten collection windows displaying the different parameters.
Multiple dynamic screens produce visual active data such as real-time chromatogram traces complete with start and stop fraction collection lines.
Increased fraction collection capacity is generated by connecting and controlling up to four PrepFCs from one source, the pocket PC.
The PrepFC fraction collector (ethernet) has the ability to handle tube heights of up to 200mm using its four adjustable height settings and can accommodate several rack sizes including the code 90 series specifically used for large volume collection without the use of funnels, hence reducing contamination.
The high-flow fraction collection valve allows flow rates up to 200ml/min and the increased X/Y speed minimises time spent and sample loss with tube-to-tube transfer. Request a free brochure from Anachem ...
