2.3 Fraction Collector Configurations

The fraction collector is available in the following standard configuration for flow rates
up to 150 mL/min:
Description
AFC-3000 Automated Fraction Collector, including:
- two 90 position racks
- 180 x 8 mL tubes, 13 mm OD
- 1.6 mm ID diverter valve and 1 mm ID PEEK drop former
Kit for low flow rates
A kit for flow rates up to 10 mL/min is available. It includes a different diverter valve, which
replaces the standard valve.
Description
Kit for low flow rates, including:
1.0 mm ID diverter valve with 0.4 mm ID PEEK drop former
Kit for normal-phase LC
In addition to the standard and low-flow PEEK drop formers, Thermo Fisher Scientific
offers a stainless steel drop former with 1.0 mm ID for use with normal-phase solvents.
The stainless steel drop former provides grounding via the diverter valve cable and is
suitable for flow rates up to 150 mL/min.
Description
Kit for normal-phase LC, including:
1.0 mm ID stainless steel drop former with grounding cable
Warning:
Operating Instructions
Do not perform normal-phase applications without a proper
grounding protection of the drop former. Non-conductive, non-polar
normal-phase eluents, for example hexane, can lead to a build-up of
electrostatic charges on an ungrounded drop former. The
electrostatic discharge can create a fire and/or explosion hazard.
