PAL RTC/RSI Benefits

Ingeniously productive

Automatic selection of the syringe with optimal accuracy for adding standards or preparing serial dilutions
On the fly switching between a syringe tool for the addition of an internal standard and the LC-MS Tool for subsequent Analysis
Possibility to permanently configure several workflows on one system for a walk-up prep station, e.g. Liquid/Liquid Extraction and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
Automated optimization of methods e.g. by selecting the most suitable Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) fiber from an array of 4 different ones
Derivatization reactions performed without manual intervention for productivity, protection against hazardous chemicals and process safety
Automation of labor intensive manual workflows like protein digestion

Increased Vial Capacity:

162 x 2mL or 60 x 10mL or 20mL vials/tray holder, other vial types and microtiter plates can be handled
With temperature controlled stacks a maximum of 9216 samples out of 24 MTP's can be handled
Cooled Stack with position control

Minimized Carryover:

Bottom sensing makes sure that small volumes can be injected out of a few µL of sample (e.g. 3 x 1 µL out of 5 µL).
With Constant Force Technology the PAL detects the correct position of the needle in the specially designed needle seal. Potential carryover is avoided.

Process Safety:

Position detection means process safety. Missing vials or the correct position of the injector are detected and traced.
Position detection for the temperature controlled stack ensures that the drawer is in the correct position (open / closed) and the temperature is monitored.

Discriminatin free GC injection

Ultrafast injections down to 100ms reduce discrimination in GC down to C40/C20 > 0.98.

Efficient Mixing

(The PAL system will be delivered through Axel Semrau)
