Welcome to the LEAP Technologies wiki, a digital brochure and literature catalog library of LEAP's PAL applications.
Company Description
LEAP Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1989 as an autosampler company serving the GC and GC–MS markets. Since then, LEAP has expanded into front-end sample handling for all areas of chromatography and mass spectroscopy, including LC/MS/MS and MALDI-MS as well as robotics for proteomics and fiber optic UV technology for tablet dissolution. LEAP strives to find total solutions for analytical lab automation. One of the major components in LEAP's approach to automation solutions is with the PAL X,Y,Z robot.
Register for the UHPLC-MS Automation August 26th, 2010 1 pm EDST
A Free webinar introducing the new UHPLC-MS Automation Package for Analyst (AB Sciex) from LEAP.
The golden combination of Pump and Autosampler called “Flex-a-PAL” beats other combination's with reliability, flexibility and convenience? Combine the LEAP PAL with the FX-15 UHPLC pump and be set for years to come.
Learn what this combination will do for you. LEAP offers the complete system or upgrades for PALs and add the FX-15 UHPLC pump for all your LC-MS needs. If you use small particle columns for a100% or only 20% of your LC methods you are all set to change from UHPLC to traditional columns in practically no time without re-plumbing your system. Learn more about how your PAL can be upgraded to near zero carry-over performance and to being completely UHPLC capable.
Webinar will be held August 26th, 2010 at 1pm EDST and will last 60 minutes.

LEAP Webinar Flyer for UHPLC August 18, 2010
Register for the DLW & HTS, HTC-xt Webinar on Tuesday August 24th, 2010
Free Webinar discussing new, real life experience with carry-over reduction using the new PAL-xt models and DLW upgrades, the new “Dynamic Load and Wash” system for the PAL.
For those of you who struggle with carryover when injecting “sticky” samples, or for those of you wishing to improve the general efficiency of your wash with faster wash cycles and minimal solvent usage, LEAP is offering this new system wash called the “DLW”. During the Webinar we will illustrate how this new device works so effectively, we will discuss its setup and new wash parameters. We will also summarize real-world experiences of carryover data observed at customer sites.
LEAP is now offering the new “xt” version of the PAL. We will highlight the main differences and advantages of this instrument.
The Webinar will be held both Tuesday August 24th and Tuesday August 31st at 1pm EST and will last approximately 30 minutes.

As Seen at the ASMS June 2010
LEAP Technologies presented "A fully automated system for Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange" at the 58th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS) in Salt Lake City, Utah.
To see information about this system please follow our quick link HD/X Applications
LEAP Technologies also presented "DLW (Dynamic Load and Wash) for Fast and Clean LC/MS Loading" The DLW,Dynamic Load and Wash, is designed for today’s most sensitive MS instruments this completely new injection and wash concept gives Near Zero Carryover and can drastically reduced cycle times. The linked combination of the two steps which are usually separate - minimizes cycle time and carry over. The DLW,Dynamic Load and Wash, is designed to be used on the PAL line of robots at the 58th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

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 integrate with Chronos so check with LEAP to see if your 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.
