Abstract
A fraction collector includes a base unit and a turntable rotatably mounted on the base unit for supporting a plurality of collection tubes. The upper horizontal surface of the base unit includes a receptacle which is disposed to collect fluids discharged onto the base unit. The turntable is enclosed and includes a discharge port which is aligned over the receptacle when the turntable is mounted on the base unit. In this way, fluids which are intentionally or unintentionally discharged into the turntable will be collected in the receptacle 46. Receptacle 46 also includes a discharge port which may be connected to a disposal site, typically by flexible tubing.
