CTC Analytics AG products

Dedicated Tools for different syringe types available: 1mL / 2.5mL / 5mL (with corresponding tools). Syringe temp. 40°C up to 150°C in 1°C steps. Syringe flush with inert gas flow through X-Y-Z rail. Magnetic vial transport for 2mL, 10mL and 20mL vials.

For the incubation and agitation of samples. 6 positions for 20mL vials. Temperature range 30° - 200°C. Agitation  speed 250 - 750rpm. Optional adapter for 2mL or 10mL vials.

This Barcode Reader Module reads the barcode labels on 2mL, 10mL and 20mL vials regardless of the orientation on the vials. Therefore it ensures highest process safety and traceability

Opens/closes 2, 10, 20 mL screw cap vials without any change of hardware (no adapters required). A defined torque guarantees the reproducible and leak-tight closing of headspace vials. PAL Re-Cap vials ensure consistent performance for multiple open/close cycles

For efficient and accurate addition of larger amounts of liquids. 100µL, 1mL (standard), 5mL & 10mL dispensing syringes available. Optional selector valves allow dispensing of up to 4 different liquids (plus waste channel).

Automation is the way to increase productivity and (process) safety in the laboratory. Transferring repetitive or dangerous manual tasks to a robot improves safety. The possibility to run the PAL RTC with Robotic Tool Change unattended 24h/day increases throughput, especially for long sample preparations.

Laboratories work under time pressure and often with a tremendous workload. The reliability of hardware and software should not be something the user has to worry about. Reliability is just expected from every tool.

Reproducible results thanks to optimized injection handling. Only perfect injection handling gives reproducible results. The PAL LSI is designed for the precise and accurate handling of liquid samples of up to 100 μL in volume. In combination with the PAL Sample Control software all parameters of aspirating and dispensing of liquid samples can be fully controlled. This is crucial for perfect injections. A range of syringes from 1.2 μL to 100 μL is available. In the example highlighted above an aliquot of an internal standard is sandwiched between transport solvent and the sample. Air gaps in between the liquids preclude mixing of the different liquids. The accurate control of these steps is the basis of reproducible methods.
