HTS-xt PAL

The HTS-xt PAL is the High-End capacity model 80cm in length which provides outstanding performance and maximum flexibility for any LC sample processing system. Perfect for sample introduction or flexible analysis requirements. Besides 96/384 MT or Deep well plates the HTS PAL injects samples out of 1ml/2ml/10ml/20ml vials or various types of test tubes directly into the LC valve. 4-valve operation for parallel or staggered sample analysis, 2- or 3-valve operation for multidimensional chromatography.

The HTS-xt, the new 80 cm version of the CTC PAL Sample Handler is primarily designed as high throughput liquid chromatography injector systems for the Life Science market where sticky compounds and higher sensitivity mass spectrometers demand near zero carryover. Today’s Mass Spectrometers are so sensitive that carryover becomes a potential issue. To meet today’s requirements for fast, clean and reproducible LC/MS injections there is the HTC-xt with the Dynamic Load and Wash (DLW) concept.

Potential applications

• High Throughput Screening
• Environmental
• Food Safety
• Forensics
• Preclinical Research
• Metabolomics
• Drug Metabolism
• Pharmacokinetics
• Protein Biomaker Discovery

The HTS-xt additional features:

• A new state-of-the-art new electronics board
• Dynamic Load and Wash (DLW) concept

This results in:

• Keeping sample away from the syringe, plus fast, effective washing of all wetted path
• Near-zero carryover results from run to run
• Larger memory capacity for more objects
• Faster basic motor speeds
• Controls additional solenoid valves and other accessories
• Externally exchangeable fuse, which protects electronics
• Ethernet as well as RS 232 interface
• New firmware 4.x that is not available for old boards

Upgrade path is available for newer HTC and HTS PALs. For other PALs the incentive is small to switch to the new electronics.
Sign up for an upcoming September 2009 web-cast where LEAP staff will focus on the features of the xt PAL and when the advantage exist to select an –xt PAL or the Upgrade Option.

LEAP Technologies provides fully automated sample processing workstation instrumentation solutions based on the LEAP CTC PAL X, Y, Z syringe only autosampler robot. This extremely flexible, precise, and adaptable liquid handling robotic platform is available in a variety of lengths and options depending on the requirements of your sample preparation and injections for your UHPLC, LC or GC chromatography. LEAP also offers process control systems and stand alone workstations. LEAP offers full technical support and service for the PAL platform with over 10 years of history with the PAL. LEAP can also write custom macros, cycles, and scheduling software for your specific applications. We're proud that LEAP is known as a productivity improver for laboratories. Analytical equipment such as chromatographs and mass spectrometers are expensive devices and also expensive to maintain. LEAP can help to keep them running and analyze samples around the clock.
Please contact LEAP Technologies on how we can help you get maximized throughput with flexible pipetting automation solutions whether it is our standard applications or customized to your needs.
