XCHANGE® Option for automated syringe exchange

New XCHANGE® Option which is fully implemented on the PAL-xt platforms

XCHANGE® is a coupling system easily integrated onto the PAL-xt platforms giving increased flexibility.

Automated syringe exchange enables new application possibilities with enhanced flexibility.
Main features are:
• Injection of small and large volumes in one sample sequence
• Adding of internal standards without cross contamination
• Preventative exchange of syringe when using harmful media
• Choice of 9 different syringe volumes
• Serial dilution

Automated syringe exchange enables new application possibilities with enhanced flexibility.
The XCHANGE® coupling system secures and locks the syringe in place. This is achieved by a mating mechanical piece that captures the syringe and a magnet that automatically aligns – eliminating the need for springs, screws, or alignment gauges. Once engaged the syringe is locked into position requiring zero holding force.

XCHANGE ® syringes (10µl, 25ul, 100µl, 250ul, 500ul, 1ml, 2.5ml and 5ml)
(requires PAL Firmware 4.2.x)

Known limitations of XCHANGE® on the PAL-xt

1. XCHANGE® is only available for PAL-xt instruments
2. Automatic Syringe recognition of PAL-xt must be turned on
3. There is only space for Wash Stations or Valves behind the Park Station. No Tray Holder or Stack can be placed behind the XCHANGE Park Station.
4. No magnetic vial transport possible with the actual design at this time.
6. Max Penetration Depth = 40mm
7. Optional barcode reader excludes use of XCHANGE.
9. XCHANGE is currently only available for the GC-xt, Combi-xt, HTS-xt instruments (80cm).
