A fraction collector designed specifically to be compatible with the analytical techniques of alkaline and neutral elution of DNA from carcinogen-treated cells is described. This apparatus, which is operated by microchip controls, permits simultaneous collection of as many as 20 eluted samples directly into standard- or small-size scintillation vials contained in manufacturer's shipping cartons. This instrument saves operator time, offers considerable flexibility, and has several fail-safe features.
