The LEAP Story

LEAP is experienced in providing automation solutions for any process that gathers, treats and delivers samples to an analytical process. Liquid Handling is in most cases involved but we are not limited to that. We can also move,weigh and image objects. Liquid handling includes spraying and printing besides the usual measuring, pipetting, injecting, mixing , heating or sampling of a variety of liquids. We have the ability to design, engineer, deliver and support simple but unique or complex but simple to use systems. The LEAP Shell software lets us create solution-specific sample lists and shell methods that synchronize all instruments involved. LEAP Shell is used for LC/LCMS and stand-alone workstations. LEAP uses Chronos Mastersoftwarefor GC and GC-MS integrations. Currently, Chronos integrates with Thermo Electron Xcalibur 1.4 and 2.0 GC & Agilent GC and MSD ChemStation. Further data system packages are begin integrated with Chronos so check with LEAP to see if yours is.
We can provide complete locked-down systems to Value Added Resellers (VARs). Combinations of instruments that we can supply are robotic sampling devices and LC pumps as front-end to LC-MS systems. Single and dual channel LC to one MS that save cycle time and therefore increase throughput are becoming standard Frontend Automation Bundles (FABs). LEAP has available a proven SDK for PAL integration into your data system software.
One of LEAP's fundamental business philosophies is to build strong client relationships by knowing our customers and responding to their specific needs with superior personal service whether you have one PAL or are VAR of LEAP's.
