PAL DHR Dual Head
Productivity x 2 - Time is money - dual head to maximize your throughput
The heads can execute two independent workflows:
- Headspace with sample preparation, e.g. standard addition or derivatization
- High throughput parallel injections into two GC- or LC-systems
- The software optimizes the timetable to maximize productivity
- Automatic collision control ensures process safety and easy programming
- 80 to 200 cm wide working area
- Combinations of RTC/RSI heads
- Performs various injection techniques with just one robotic sampler
Brochures
PAL RSI and PAL RTC - Sample prep and injection
In this product brochure, CTC Analytics presents the PAL System as a versatile and widely utilized sample preparation and handling platform. The PAL System serves as a comprehensive toolkit for various sample preparation tasks, ranging from simple liquid injections to complex workflows. It can be customized and expanded to meet specific requirements, offering options to enhance sample capacity and integrate additional modules.
Minimize PFAS background and equip your PAL Systems with Upgrade Kits for PFAS analysis
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals used in a large variety of products but posing environmental and health risks. Therefore, with PFAS analysis becoming a pressing environmental and public health concern worldwide, the development of analytical workflows with low detection limits for PFAS analysis have become paramount.
In this product brochure, CTC Analytics demonstrates how PAL Systems are uniquely equipped to address these challenges, offering solutions to automate sample preparation process to reduce errors and improve repeatability, as well as offering PFAS-free products to minimize background contamination for optimal sensitivity and accuracy.
Determination of MCPD and glycidyl esters in foodstuff
Contaminants are often found in food items due to the refinement process of oils and fats. CTC Analytics discusses the determination of 2- and 3-MCPD (3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol and 2-Monochloropropane-1,3-diol) and glycidyl esters in foodstuffs using GC-MS. The study employs highly efficient automation with the PAL DHR Dual Head instrument under the CHRONOS control software. The analysis follows the AOCS Cd 29c-13 method and involves transesterification to convert analytes bound to fatty acid esters into their free forms for analysis. The method demonstrates high precision and reproducibility, making it suitable for routine analysis in food control labs.
