Bio-Rad BioLogic BioFrac Fraction Collector Description

Functions

Automated liquid chromatography fraction collection system that captures, sorts, and dispenses eluent fractions from column chromatography separations based on programmable time intervals, peak detection signals, or external trigger inputs. Interfaces with chromatography systems through analog voltage signals and digital communications to coordinate collection timing with separation parameters. Features multiple collection tube formats, refrigerated sample storage capabilities, and precise volumetric dispensing control for protein purification, analytical separations, and preparative chromatography applications.

Platforms

Designed for integration with electrochemical analyzers and chromatography systems, this fraction collector operates on benchtop platforms requiring precise fluid handling. It connects via modular fluidic interfaces and digital communication ports for synchronization with pumps and detectors. It is commonly applied in biochemical, pharmaceutical, and analytical laboratories for automated fraction collection during elution processes, facilitating downstream analysis and sample purification.

Applications

Functions: Collects liquid chromatography fractions based on time, drop count, or peak detection. Hardware: Operates within a chromatography system, utilizing a fraction collection rack. Interfaces: USB connectivity for control and data transfer; integrates with chromatography software for automated fraction collection. Applications: Protein purification, peptide mapping, and small molecule separation in research and analytical laboratories.

Accessories

Requires compatible BioLogic mainframe (e.g., BioLogic LP system) for operation; interfaces include a multi-pin DIN connector for control signals to mainframe, and fluidic tubing connectors conforming to standard lab tubing sizes; dedicated software for fraction collection control; may need peristaltic pump and UV/RI detectors from BioLogic series; uses standard power cord compatible with mainframe.

Interfaces

Fraction collector interface includes a multi-channel liquid handling interface with standard Luer lock fittings for sample tubing. It connects via USB or RS-232 serial port for control from chromatography systems. Includes mounting brackets compatible with BioLogic mainframes or as a standalone module. Typically integrates with fraction collector trays or microplates, requiring appropriate adapters for tube diameters.

Specifications

Collects and separates fractions from liquid chromatography runs, compatible with high-performance liquid chromatography systems, integrates with BioLogic software for automated retrieval and sample management, interfaces via RS-232 and TTL inputs/outputs, designed for benchtop use, features refrigerated collection chambers, accepts a variety of tube and vial sizes, used in biotech and pharmaceutical applications for protein purification and analysis.
