BioFrac™ Fraction Collector

Description

Manufactured by Bio-Rad, the BioFrac Fraction Collector is an accessory designed for use with chromatography systems. Its primary function is to automate the collection of eluent fractions from liquid chromatography columns. Collection can be triggered based on preset time intervals, specific volumes, or through peak detection signals from the system. The unit typically has a compact, benchtop-friendly design and includes a sample rack or carousel that holds standard collection tubes, vials, or microplates. It interfaces with the controlling software of the chromatography system to coordinate collection events accurately. Common applications for this device include protein purification workflows, nucleic acid analysis, and general preparative chromatography in research and analytical laboratories. The unit aims to provide reliable, hands-free operation to enhance workflow efficiency and improve the reproducibility of fraction collection.
