Description | |
High Throughput LC injections alternating onto two analytical columns. |

Overview
This configuration provides short cycle times by limiting the acquisition time to just the peaks of interest and regenerating the columns during the acquisition. It uses LEAP Shell Scheduling Software[1] - this application is integrated withAnalyst® Software[2] from Applied Biosystems Inc®. There is a single sample list and allows multiplexing [3] of 2 separate HPLC systems into one mass spectrometer [4].
If the peaks of interest come off together in the middle of the gradient (as shown below) then it is possible to utilize the front cut and back cut time to increase throughput.
If injections are staggered in the following way, there is a potential for up to 100% gain:
Hardware Requirements
- DoubleStack multiple valve system and a 6 port injection valve with FWS in front of it is required
Key Benefits |
Integration with Analyst |
Single Sample List |
Staggering of Samples [5] |
Multiplexes 2 separate LC systems into one Mass Spec |
Restrictions |
Does not yet support 21CFR11 |
Requires Pumps to be integrated with LEAP Shell |
