For nearly unlimited collection vessel capacities, the factory
offers funnel racks. These funnel racks direct the fluids to con-
tainers of any size below the fraction collector. The construction
materials are listed with each type.
60-2137-162 Foxy Preparative Rack with 26 ETFE or ECTFE
funnels and 50 ft. of 3/8 inch FEP-lined tubing. (For
Foxy R2 only. Occupies both rack positions.)
60-2137-163 Foxy Preparative Rack with 36 ETFE or ECTFE funnels
and 50 ft. of 1/4 inch ID of vinyl tubing. Takes up one
rack position. Fits both the Foxy R1 and R2.
Note
All racks and funnels include RFID tags for automatic detection
by the Foxy R2 fraction collector.
Figure 1-2 and Table 1-1 identify key features on the Foxy R1
and Foxy R2 fraction collectors.
Table 1-1 Fraction collector features
1 The touch screen LCD displays icons for turning the fraction collec-
tor ON or to Standby, configuring basic settings, and programming
the unit for operation.
2 Under program control, the diverter valve assembly either depos-
its fluids into the vessel or out to a user-supplied waste container.
The standard diverter valve assembly includes the drop for-
mer/counter.
3 The height adjustment knob allows the user to set drop for-
mer/counter outlet at safe yet minimal distance above the collection
tubes or funnels.
4 The fraction collector arm moves along the Y-axis to position the
arm over the correct row. The arm includes electromechanical com-
ponents move the diverter valve along the X-axis to position the
drop former/counter over the collection vessel.
5 The drip tray catches fluid when the collection rack is mis-config-
ured in the software, when collection tubes are missing, and when
collection tubes are over-filled.
6 The rack guide pins ensure the racks and funnels are correctly
positioned under the diverter valve assembly. Some guide pins also
serve as an electrical ground to dissipate static electricity that can
build up when collecting organic solvents at high flow rates.
7 The adjustable foot allows you to level the fraction collector.
8 The drip tray drain can route overflow fluids to a user-supplied col-
lection container or drain.
9 A secondary drain routes any fluids that miss the drip tray to a
common collection point.
