8  TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

8.1  General specification 

Type:  

LAMBDA OMNICOLL 

– microprocessor-controlled 

programmable fraction collector 

– sampler 

Collection mode:  

Linear (line), meander (zigzag) or row collection 

Normal modus: 

 

Time:  

0.1 to 999.9 minutes (16.67 hours) in 0.1 min steps or  
1 to 9999 minutes (166.7 hours) in 1 min steps 

Volume: 

0.01 to 500 ml or 0.6 to 30 litres (external counts using 
LAMBDA peristaltic pump) 

High modus: 

same as Normal modus, but 

with a pause

 between 

fractions (from 0.1 to 999.9 minutes or 1 to 9999 minutes) 

Remote control: 

 

Normal modus: 

Collector takes a 

single

 fraction after an external voltage 

pulse of 3-12 V (or 12-30 V with a 3300 ohm resistor) 

High modus: 

Collector takes a 

1 to 999 fractions

 after a single external 

voltage pulse of 3-12 V (or 12-30 V with a 3300 ohm 
resistor) 

Capacity: 

Any tube rack

 or container type with a surface smaller than 

45x31cm 

Using supplied 
racks:

 

360 tubes of 12-13 mm diameter  
240 tubes of 16 mm diameter  
160 tubes of 20 mm diameter  
96 tubes of 30 mm diameter  

The capacity can be increased many times by coupling 
several lower fraction collector parts together. 

Non-volatile memory:

 

storage of all settings 

Interface: 

RS-232 (optional) 

Power supply: 

95

–240 V/60–50 Hz AC plug-in power supply with DC 

9V/12W output; possible field operation on 12 V 
accumulator 

Dimensions: 

34 (W) x 30 (H) x 49 (D) cm 

Weight: 

6.5 Kg 

Safety: 

CE, meets IEC 1010/1 norm for laboratory instruments 

Operation temperature: 

0-40 °C 

Operation humidity: 

0-90% RH, not condensing 

Remote control: 

0-10 V; (option 0-20 or 4-20 mA) 

Fuse: 

1.5 A (on printed circuit board) 
 

 

For safety reasons,  
the voltage of the external signal must not exceed 48V to earth!
