Teledyne Foxy Fraction Collector Rack Replacement Plates for 25 mm Tubes

Teledyne 60-2137-045 Foxy Fraction Collector Rack Plates – 25 mm Tube Configuration

The Teledyne 60-2137-045 is a precision-machined rack replacement plate set engineered for Teledyne ISCO Foxy R1 and Foxy R2 Fraction Collectors. This plate set is specifically designed to accommodate large-diameter 25 mm tubes, making it the ideal choice for preparative chromatography and high-volume fraction collection. The plates are designed with exacting tolerances to ensure that the collection tubes remain perfectly vertical and centered. This precision is critical for maintaining the alignment between the fraction collector's delivery head and the tube centers, preventing costly spills, cross-contamination, and mechanical interference during automated runs. Constructed from chemically resilient materials, these plates are easy to install and allow researchers to quickly reconfigure their Foxy system for large-scale purification tasks.

Technical Performance and Design

• Large-Volume Optimization: Designed specifically for 25 mm diameter tubes, providing the necessary stability for collecting the larger fractions typically generated during flash chromatography or preparative HPLC.

• Anti-Shift Tube Retention: The upper and lower plate geometry works in tandem to lock 25 mm tubes into a rigid matrix, ensuring the robotic arm can move at maximum velocity without causing tube tilt or vibration.

• Solvent-Resistant Materials: Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to common chromatography solvents, such as acetonitrile, methanol, and hexanes, ensuring long-term structural integrity in harsh lab environments.

• Rapid Hardware Reconfiguration: Allows for a seamless transition from analytical-scale racks to preparative-scale racks using the existing Foxy rack frame, minimizing instrument downtime.

Product Specifications

• Catalog Number: 60-2137-045 (also listed as 602137045)

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

• Tube Size: 25 mm Diameter (standard large-bore prep tubes)

• Material: High-durability, chemical-resistant polymer

Key Benefits & Applications

• Preparative Purification: The go-to configuration for chemists performing large-scale natural product isolation or synthetic compound purification where 25 mm tubes (approx. 50–70 mL capacity) are required.

• Process Development: Ideal for pilot-scale work where large volumes of eluent must be collected and screened for purity before moving to production-scale columns.

• Drop-In Replacement: Easily replaces worn, stained, or warped plates, restoring the "as-new" alignment and precision of the automated collection sequence.

• Simplified Maintenance: The modular design allows for independent cleaning of the plates, preventing the buildup of salts or sticky residues that can interfere with tube loading.
