A liquid fraction collector has a first series of containers and a second series of containers, each of the first and second series of containers being arranged in a plurality of groups with means to support each group at a different elevation. A conduit leads upwardly from each container in said first series with the upper ends of the conduits lying in a first row and a conduit leads upwardly from each container in said second series with the upper end of the conduits lying in a second row parallel to the first row. A carriage is mounted above said conduits. The carriage has means to discharge a liquid having an inverted V guide member with one trough over one row and the other trough over the other row and a discharge tube having its discharge end movable from a position over one trough of the guide member to a position over the other trough of the guide member. The carriage is advanced stepwise from one conduit to the next above the said rows from one end of rows to the other end and returned to said one end by moving means. The discharge tube discharges into the conduits of one row as the carriage advances and is moved to cause discharge into the conduits of the other row when the carriage returns by adjusting means.
