Durability and reliability are built into all three of Teledyne LABS fraction collectors, the Foxy® R1, R2 and R2 High Flow. Designed for accuracy and speed, these fraction collectors represent state-of-the-art functionality and innovation. The Foxy R1 and R2 fraction collectors are liquid distribution instruments with the ability to divide the liquid into multiple collection vessels, switching vessels on time, drops, volume, peaks, or a combination of these parameters. Collection vessels can be test tubes, vials, mini-wells, bottles, or funnels. The touch screen display simplifies set-up for a variety of collection routines.  ​​​

​Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fraction collector?

A fraction collector contains rows of test tubes or bottles that move through a pre-programmed, sequential system to collect samples from a chromatography system or other instrument. It also can be programmed for the distinct collection of peaks of specific proteins in fraction collection for preparative chromatography.

What does a fraction collector do in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)?

In HPLC as in all chromatography, a compound is separated out into its various components. This collection of individual components is divided out into a series of test tubes using a fraction collector. 

What is a chromatography fraction​?

​A chromatography fraction is one of the elements found in a compound being separated out into its various components, or fractions. A fraction collector catches each of these components in separate test tubes or bottles.
