Preparative Fraction Collector PFC

Product catalog summary
Overview: The GERSTEL Preparative Fraction Collector (PFC) is designed for the automatic collection of pure compounds following gas chromatographic separation. It features six sample traps and one waste trap, with trap volumes available in 1 μl or 100 μl. Optional cooling systems using LN2 or cryostatic methods enhance compound recovery.
Specifications: The PFC allows precise trap switching with a resolution of 0.01 minutes, enabling reliable collection of closely resolved compounds. Trap heating can reach up to 250 °C, while cooling can go down to –150 °C with LN2 or typically -20 °C with cryostatic systems. The dimensions are 400 mm in height, 320 mm in length, and 380 mm in width, with a weight of 12 kg.
Features: The system is designed without valves or cold spots to ensure maximum transfer efficiency. It supports hundreds of injections, making it suitable for further analysis using techniques like NMR or IR. The PFC can be controlled via a hand-held GERSTEL-MAS Controller 505 keypad or GERSTEL-MASter software and is compatible with all common gas chromatographs using an optional flexible heated transfer line.
Advantages: The PFC offers excellent fraction collection reproducibility, improved trapping efficiency, and a unique monitoring system with a "Closed-split" effluent flow divider. It features manual trap control for easy method development, Windows-based software for user-friendly programming, and the ability to group compound classes for efficient collection. The system ensures zero dead volume for leak-free compound transfer using GRAPHPACK technology.
Conclusion: The GERSTEL PFC is a versatile and reliable tool for the collection and analysis of pure compounds, offering advanced features and high efficiency for laboratory applications.

Preparative Fraction Collector PFC-2

The GERSTEL PFC automatically collects compounds after gas chromatographic separation. The PFC is equipped with six sample traps and one waste trap. Traps are available in 1 ìl or 100 ìl volumes. For optimum compound recovery, the PFC can be equipped with optional LN2 or cryostatic trap cooling systems. The GERSTEL PFC allows for the collection of individual compounds, a series of compounds, or specific classes of compounds. Thanks to microprocessor control, trap switching times can be selected to within 0.01 minutes. This permits reliable collection of individual compounds that are closely resolved....
