FC 203B Fraction Collector

Part Number: 171011Product Details

The FC 203B is the perfect compact fraction collector, capable of handling a wide variety of collection vessels, including microplates, vials and tubes. The built-in keypad makes setup and operation simple and efficient. Collect fractions by time, drop or peak to suit all your LC applications.

  • In peak mode, collector monitors a detector signal and identifies peaks using either an adaptive-slope algorithm or a specified millivolt threshold
  • Up to 10 programmable time windows can be added for collecting only what you want, while discarding the column’s void volume, peaks of no interest and equilibration volumes
  • Stand-alone instrument with an easy-to-use keypad, or can be controlled through your PC via TRILUTION™ Software
  • Optional 3-way diverter valve prevents contamination of collected fractions
  • Contact closure inputs are available to remotely start/advance or stop - compatible with most HPLC systems
  • Compact size fits in most fume hoods
  • Multicolumn adapters for collecting up to 18 separate channels

Operating Modes Drop, Manual, Peak + Drop, Peak + Time, Time
Peak Detection Adaptive-slope algorithm that applies user-specified parameters to accommodate drifting baselines, negative and asymmetrical peaks, or absolute threshold level that collects all peaks above specified mV value. Peak parameters - peak height or level, in mV and peak width at half-height, in minutes. Minimum peak height for fractionation - 0.1 mV full scale. Detector-collector delay - 0.01 minute increments
Power Requirements Frequency - 50-60 Hz; Voltage - 100-120 or 220-240V, mains voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10% of the nominal voltage; Current rating - 0.5A for 100-120V, or 0.25A for 220-240V
Programmable Time Units From 0.01 to 99.99 minutes per tube with a 0.01 minute limit of resolution
Software Via TRILUTION® LC Software
Time-Based Programming Up to 10 collection windows and 10 drain steps in any mode
Tube Change Time 100-250 ms, center to center, depending on rack type
