1 Introduction
Product Description
Product Description
The Agilent 1290 Infinity II Preparative Open-Bed Fraction Collector is the
ideal solution that automatically manages high-capacity fraction collection of
purified peaks for semi-preparative and preparative scale purification. Collect
milligrams to multi-gram quantities of sample intuitive with ease. The Agilent
1290 Infinity II Preparative Open-Bed Fraction Collector features handling a
wide variety of collection vessels with ease and capacity of up to 5.9 L by using
150 x 25 mm (L x OD). The containers use identification tags to automatically
detect the vessel dimensions. With a novel robotic technology, Y-, Z-, theta-axis
probe functionality minimizes sample carryover between the fractions during
movements between the vessels. The Agilent 1290 Infinity II Preparative
Open-Bed Fraction Collector is optimized for flow rates up to 200 mL/min,
and can be easily integrated with any Agilent solvent delivery module,
autosampler, or detector.
