FC-24XX Fraction Collectors are designed to facilitate liposome
separation from untrapped compounds but may be used in other applications that
require small volume fractioning. Both models are compact, inexpensive and
simple to operate. It has three modes of operation: Automatic, when rotor
is moved one step at a given period of time; Manual, when movement controlled by
the front panel pushbutton switch; and External, when device is connected to a
command source trough the input on the rear panel. (Same
connector may be used as a source of synchronization pulse for binding a tube
position to an elution profile.) FC-2420 is
similar to FC-2405 model but capable to work with
different rotors for 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml, and 2 ml vials. Rotors can be changed
in seconds without any tools. Both models are powered from AC/DC wall
transformer (included).
