Centrifugal Fraction Collector Enables Collection Of Up To 24 Fractions
The CFC-2 Fraction Collector for supercritical fluid chromatography enables collection of up to 24 SFC fractions with sample recoveries of greater than 90%. The CFC-2 Fraction Collector employs patented centrifugal technology that captures non-volatile materials entrained in the eluent stream from any SFC system. The instrument operates at atmospheric pressure, eliminating the complexity and pressurized vessel requirements of typical SFC fraction collectors. The compact instrument can be conveniently placed on a lab bench, alongside the SFC instrument. The CFC-2 Fraction Collector uses centrifugal force to perform a density separation upon the spray from a flexible eluant tube which is connected to the backpressure regulator outlet of any SFC system. The centrifugal force captures non-volatile liquids and solid precipitates in standard, off-the-shelf glass containers. The expanded CO2 gas phase and other vapors are contained inside the rotor compartment and blown through an exhaust hose to the nearest laboratory vent system. The standard rotor holds 24 x 30 mL fraction collection tubes, spins at 1500 rpm and will recover non-volatile flow rates to 50 mL/min.
