Original tobacco samples will be placed in 20ml vials. These vials will be loaded into a shaker tray that will also heat and agitate the samples at the appropriate time. The PAL will 15ml of solvent will be added to each sample in the batch. Then 50ul of internal standard will also be added to each sample in the batch. After these two additions, the samples will be heated and agitated for a period of time specified by the user. Once the incubation period expires, 1.5ml of each sample will be filtered through a 0.45 micron PTFE filter. Then 1ml of each filtered sample will be transferred to a separate 2ml vial for off-line analysis.

  Automated Filtration with Press for UniPrep vials by Whatman

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.

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

  • Different filtration modes
  • Overlapped staggered processing of all samples for higher throughput
  • Twin PAL option for greater capacity and flexibility and a single sample list
  • Multiple reagent reservoirs and large sample vial capacity
  • Multiple heated zones for different temperature reactions
  • Direct injection to LC or GC
  • Balance integration for weighing of solid product and internal standard
  • 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
