  "term": "Fraction collector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device used in chromatography to automatically collect the effluent (the mobile phase leaving the column) into a series of separate containers like test tubes or vials. The collection process is controlled based on time, volume, or a detector signal, such as UV absorbance, to isolate different components of the mixture as they elute. Modern collectors are programmable and hold hundreds of tubes in a carousel or rack.",
