Features Header
Several modes of collection
Fraction Collector III offers several simple to advanced modes of operation for fraction collection, including time, threshold, volume, manual, and sampling. These modes of operation can be combined to allow for advanced fraction collection, such as pooling of repeated runs into common vessels.
Peak detection and collection using an analog detector input from a liquid chromatography (LC) system permits fully automated collection of the peaks of interest. The diverter valve in the system enables you to collect peaks without extraneous solvent and/or unwanted peaks (which are diverted to waste), maximizing fraction collection efficiency and overall preparative LC system productivity.
For maximum control and usability, you can control the Fraction Collector III from a local keypad or through serial port communication by Empower 3 or MassLynx Software.
Integrated instrument control software interface
Control of the Fraction Collector III is accessible through a new instrument control software interface that integrates seamlessly with Empower Software control components. The user can use the interface to configure collection vessels and program collection routines. Real-time feedback from the Fraction Collector III indicates the state of the collection process and the location of the collected fractions.
Multiple collector rack configurations (including custom configurations) accommodate a variety of collection vessels. If the user needs to override collection control, the interface enables software-assisted manual collection through its override function, directly from the instrument control panel.
