For nearly unlimited collection vessel capacities, the factory

tainers of any size below the fraction collector. The construction
materials are listed with each type.
Note
All racks and funnels include RFID tags for automatic detection
by the Foxy R2 fraction collector.

Table 1-1 Fraction collector features
1
The
touch screen LCD
displays icons for turning the fraction collec-
tor ON or to Standby, configuring basic settings, and programming
the unit for operation.
2
Under program control, the
diverter valve assembly
either depos-
its fluids into the vessel or out to a user-supplied waste container.
The standard diverter valve assembly includes the drop for-
mer/counter.
3
The
height adjustment knob
allows the user to set drop for-
mer/counter outlet at safe yet minimal distance above the collection
tubes or funnels.
4
The
fraction collector arm
moves along the Y-axis to position the
arm over the correct row. The arm includes electromechanical com-
ponents move the diverter valve along the X-axis to position the
drop former/counter over the collection vessel.
5
The
drip tray
catches fluid when the collection rack is mis-config-
ured in the software, when collection tubes are missing, and when
collection tubes are over-filled.
6
The
rack guide pins
ensure the racks and funnels are correctly
positioned under the diverter valve assembly. Some guide pins also
serve as an electrical ground to dissipate static electricity that can
build up when collecting organic solvents at high flow rates.
7
The
adjustable foot
allows you to level the fraction collector.
8
The
drip tray drain
can route overflow fluids to a user-supplied col-
lection container or drain.

A
secondary drain
routes any fluids that miss the drip tray to a
common collection point.
