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.

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.

LEAP Technologies also presented the "Collect PAL"Fraction Collector which features “0” sample loss during collection,“0” well-to-well carry over,“0” drips and spills between fraction sites, “0” loss due to evaporation at the 58th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS) Salt Lake City, Utah.

LEAP Technologies also presented the "Sample preparation automation to produce consistent and superior reliably coated tissue sections for MALDI Imaging MS " with the TM-Sprayer that delivers a coating of Matrix and Reagents at the 58th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS) 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.

Examples of Special Solutions

Example Solutions

Examples of some customized applications we have provided. We call them "LEAP Specials". They are custom made to suit your exact needs. Let us show you how automation can make your life in the laboratory easier, more efficient, and more rewarding. Turn Your CTC Autosampler into a LEAP WorkStation. The CTC PAL is a great autosampler but LEAP can improve upon it with one or more of our automated solutions. 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.

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 support and service for the PAL platform with over 11 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 including government labs in agencies such as FDA, USDA, EPA, FBI, Armed Forces, Homeland Security and others function more efficiently. Robotic sample prep equipment works well in government labs and challenges lab technicians to keep feeding those more samples. 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. LEAP has most of its laboratory automation robots under GSAcontract and is eager to service and maintain everything it sells to keep your expensive lab equipment running around the clock. LEAP offers customized on-site training.LEAP Is continuing to develop FAQ, Solutions, Tips & Techniques,a Learning Center with the LEAP Wiki for the benefit of all PAL Platform Robotic users. Our aim is to be the ultimate knowledge base on everything related to the PAL. LEAP has extensive multi-vendor experience with integrating the PAL. We have the Quality, Training, Parts availability, Infrastructure, and Experience.LEAP is sometimes referred to as an Application Automation House who is continually adding new products and solutions to its Lab Automation line. As we do so we change the content of this web site so please check back.
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. LEAP provides automation that fits your needs and reduces errors, increases sample capacity, increases efficiency, reduces cost by supplying long term productivity improvements with user friendly software and flexible hardware.
