The newest addition to the BAS Bee line of products for in vivo
microdialysis is the HoneyComb fraction collector. This compact
device (20 x 35cm) refrigerates 48 sample vials at a preset
temperature of 3 C. Cooling is accomplished by an efficient internal
electronic device which requires no fluid coolants or external
accessories and reaches the preset temperature with in 30 minutes
after powerup. Simple fraction collection protocols are set via the
front panel LCD display and keypad. Protocols may include a preset
delay time, collection interval, number of samples and cooling
on/off. The fraction collector may also be controlled via rear panel
input when more complex protocols, such as variable time collection
are required.
Due to the open architecture of the fraction collector, sample vials may be removed and replaced while fraction collection is taking place, so there is no limit to the number of fractions that can be collected once a method has begun. The carousel is removable and serves as a storage rack for vials. Microdialysis samples of 5 uL can be collected at a flow rate of 2 uL/min with an RSD of 2%. Post- column samples up to 150 uL can be collected from a microbore LC at flow rates up to 125 uL/min at an RSD of 1%. Vials may be capped and sealed to prevent evaporative loss.
