CFC Series Fraction Collectors for SFC

Collect more SFC fractions with HPLC-like convenience

Modular SFC’s CFC Series Fraction Collectors deliver HPLC-like fraction collection convenience for SFC separations. The benchtop modules employ patent pending technology that captures non-volatile materials entrained in the eluant stream from any SFC system with better than 90% recovery. Samples are collected at atmospheric pressure, eliminating complexity and pressurized vessel requirements. Multiple fractions are collected in the same disposable glass test tubes used in HPLC fraction collectors. The modules do not require space inside a fume hood, as all vapors are directed through an exhaust hose to the nearest laboratory vent system.

HPLC-Like Performance

The HPLC-like performance and efficiency of the CFC Fraction Collectors offer many advantages to SFC separations:

• Recover greater than 90% sample
• Collect larger numbers of fractions providing higher purity samples
• Achieve HPLC-like convenience in fraction collection/no special equipment required
• Use no fume hood space
• Collect up to 24 fractions at flow rates of up to 25 ml/min
• Add on to all existing SFC systems
• Use event-output driven collection functions from SFC system controller
• Use additional internal collection programming by time and peak detection

High efficiency and convenience enables more applications to take advantage of the inherent benefits of SFC methods.

Preliminary Specifications

Fraction Collection Control Options

The CFC-2 Fraction Collector is compatible with any commercially available SFC system. WASTE/COLLECT and NEXT FRACTION controls are enabled by programming the contact closure outputs on the SFC instrument. Alternatively, the CFC-2 will execute an internally stored method which allows collection by time-since-injection and peak-detection. A chart mark output is available to annotate the data system chromatogram.
