=== Overview ===
'''Tobacco Analysis'''  is an area that LEAP has lots of experience. These applications illustrates the power of LEAP’s unique control software to incorporate extended functionality to the PAL robot.<br><br>

Some of what LEAP can do with the PAL for Tobacco Analysis…

* Multiple ways to filter samples[http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Filtering_of_Samples]
* Overlapped staggered processing of all samples for higher throughput [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:Chronos] [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:LEAP_Shell]
* Twin PAL option for greater capacity and flexibility and a single sample list [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=TwinPAL]
* Multiple reagent reservoirs and large sample vial capacity [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Large_Volume_Dispensing]
* Multiple heated zones for different temperature reactions [http://leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Cooling_and_Heating_Sample_Storage][http://leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Agitation_of_Samples] 
* Direct injection to LC or GC  [http://leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=GC_Headspace]
* Balance integration for weighing of solid product and internal standard [http://www.leapwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Balance_PAL]
* Weight checking, over or under weight vials are skipped 
* Barcode checking, mismatched vials are not processed
* Data reporting to log files
* GC fail safe mode – if GC goes down during a run, samples are still processed and stored for later analysis
