Zero-loss, zero-drip, high throughput and ultra reliable: the new microfraction collection system from the Automation team at Trajan (formally LEAP Technologies) offers you everything you need to consistently perform your most critical collection experiments.
The LEAP MFx collector has been purposefully designed to optimize fraction collection for the sharpest peaks, the maximum dependability, and the greatest ease of use. With smart software features and automation, this analytical fraction collection system is the most reproducible, and highly compatible platform available today.
The highest capacity, most flexible system available
Fully customizable collection into a variety of plate and vial types, including sealed container collection: 96 and 384 well plate formats, 2 mL and 10 mL vial formats (sealed or open), and 2 mL and 10 mL tube formats.
Compatibility with a broad range of analytical flow rates, sub-ambient temperature control, and user-friendly software are just a few of the features that make this new system the perfect evolution for your fraction collecting needs.

Unique dynamic flow reservoir
The precision engineered and long lasting dynamic flow reservoir (DFR) allows the LEAP MFx collector to continue collecting chromatographic flow while the automation is moving between wells, resulting in zero-loss.The design achieves a turbulence-free, fully optimized flowpath for collection without peak dispersion.
Undisturbed flowpath for minimal peak diffusion
While flow to the buffer region remains constant during both well filling and robot movement, the buffer region will expand as the DFR travels between wells. This retracts any hanging droplets, and avoids peak diffusion by allowing continuous flow. The buffer region contracts to resume dispensing at the next well.
Setup for collection has never been easier
Tabular and visual method creation
Maintains highest peak resolution with sub-2 second fractions, while providing simplified data correlation, and advanced sample tracking
