Teledyne Foxy Fraction Collector Rack Replacement Plates for 16 mm Tubes

Teledyne 60-2137-151 Foxy Fraction Collector Rack Plates – 16 mm Tube Configuration

The Teledyne 60-2137-151 is a specialized rack replacement plate set engineered for use with Foxy R1 and Foxy R2 Fraction Collectors. These plates are precision-machined to accommodate standard 16 mm diameter test tubes, providing a rigid and stable platform for automated liquid dispensing. Designed to maintain exacting well-to-well alignment, these plates ensure that the fraction collector’s drop-former or needle is perfectly centered over every tube, preventing splashing, cross-contamination, and missed collections. Manufactured from chemically resistant materials, the 60-2137-151 plates are built to withstand the rigors of preparative chromatography and are easily swapped into existing rack frames, allowing for rapid transitions between different sample volumes and tube formats.

Technical Performance and Design

• Precision Alignment Geometry: Specifically designed to integrate with the Foxy R-series internal sensors and arm calibration, ensuring the robotic head delivers fractions accurately into the center of each 16 mm tube.

• Durable, Chemical-Resistant Construction: Built from high-quality polymers or coated metals designed to resist common HPLC solvents, aqueous buffers, and organic modifiers used in flash chromatography.

• Modular Versatility: These plates allow for the cost-effective reconfiguration of a standard Foxy rack frame, eliminating the need to buy complete rack assemblies when changing laboratory protocols.

• Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of the plates allows for rapid decontamination and cleaning in the event of a spill, maintaining the hygiene of the fraction collection area.

Product Specifications

• Catalog Number: 60-2137-151 (also listed as 602137151)

• Compatibility: Teledyne ISCO Foxy R1 and Foxy R2 Fraction Collectors

• Tube Size: 16 mm Diameter (standard 16 x 100 mm, 16 x 125 mm, or 16 x 150 mm tubes)

• Components: Includes upper and lower alignment plates for one rack assembly

• Format: Standard matrix grid for high-density collection

Key Benefits & Applications

• Preparative HPLC & Flash Chromatography: Ideal for laboratories scaling up from analytical to prep-scale work where 16 mm tubes are the preferred vessel for collecting large-volume fractions.

• Protein Purification: Provides a secure and organized grid for collecting fractions during FPLC or ion-exchange chromatography where sample volume per tube typically exceeds 5 mL.

• Cost-Effective Upgrading: Allows existing Foxy owners to expand their collection capabilities to 16 mm tubes by simply replacing the plates rather than the entire rack hardware.

• Enhanced Sample Integrity: The tight-tolerance holes prevent tubes from leaning or shifting during the high-speed movement of the collector arm, ensuring consistent fill levels across the entire rack.
