Agilent 1200 Series HPLC Fraction Collector, G1364C (Refurbished)

The Agilent 1200 Series Fraction Collector G1364C is an analytical-scale fraction collection module designed for precise, automated fraction collection at flow rates below 10 mL/min. It supports a wide range of vial, tube, plate, and funnel configurations and integrates seamlessly with Agilent 1200 Series LC detectors and control modules.

Key Features

• Analytical-scale fraction collection for flow rates up to 10 mL/min (higher flows possible with modification)
• Multiple trigger modes: time-based, peak-based, timetable, and manual triggering
• Discrete and continuous flow collection modes
• Low internal delay volumes for high chromatographic fidelity
• Fast-switching low-volume diverter valve (<100 ms switching time)
• Automatic tray and vessel detection
• Optional cooling via G1330B Fraction Collector Thermostat
• GLP support with electronic maintenance and error logs
• Leak detection and exhaust fan for safe handling of hazardous solvents
• CAN-based system integration with optional LAN and RS232 connectivity
