A laboratory fraction collector is an automated system used for collecting and transferring samples from test tubes. It is designed to accurately and efficiently collect and transfer small volumes of liquid from test tubes to other containers. The system typically consists of a robotic arm that moves test tubes from a holding rack to a collection container. The fraction collector is controlled by a computer program that can be programmed to collect specific volumes of liquid at specified times, allowing for automation of routine laboratory procedures.
Uses
The laboratory fraction collector is widely used in various scientific fields, including biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and pharmacology. In biochemistry, the fraction collector is used to collect and transfer fractions of proteins and other biomolecules during purification processes. In analytical chemistry, it is used to collect and transfer fractions of analytes during sample preparation procedures. In pharmacology, the fraction collector is used to collect and transfer fractions of drug compounds during drug discovery and development processes.
