Versatile LC injection system for modern chromatography labs
- LC PAL
Reliability is standard
Instrument reliability is a critical factor for every LC/LC MS user. Todays chromatographers run sample after sample, day after day, around the clock. We know that you expect your LC to perform reliably whenever you need it. CTC Analytics' renowned experience in the design and manufacture of automatic GC and LC injection systems is reflected in their range of the PAL series injection systems. In all PAL instruments the latest electronic and mechanical developments are combined with proven elements to give you precise sample handling for dependable analysis results.
Syringe only technology
The syringe only concept of the LC PAL combines the manual sample injection procedure of a LC chromatographer with the precision and throughput of a robotic liquid handling system. Your valuable samples are aspirated with a conventional syringe and are injected directly into the sample loop. No error prone teflon tubing or transfer lines are involved during the sample loading process.
Advanced performance
The LC PAL provides outstanding performance and maximum flexibility in a LC sample processing system. The standard unit provides sample capacity for 216 2ml vials or 4 standard- or deepwell microplates in any combination. An injection volume range of 100nl up to 2500µl meets the requirements of virtually any application. The fast cycle time of 20-30 seconds from injection to injection keep pace with the demands of fast LC and LCMS Flow Injection Analysis (FIA). Additional flexibility can be added by using the optional 4- or 10-port valves. This enables complex column switching procedures or internal loop configurations.
Intelligent system control
CTC Analytics' user interface is consistent throughout the whole product range. Every instrument type operates with the same easy-to-learn, easy-touse handheld keyboard. This makes using CTC‘s injection systems fast and efficient. It‘s simplicity of operation translates directly into improved productivity for laboratories. For individual application requirements the PC based Windows 2000/XP control software Cycle Composer is available
