PAL LSI - Robust and Reliable Sample Handling

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PAL LSI is a robust and reliable sample handling system designed to enhance productivity through innovative technology. It offers large sample capacity, process safety, and fast injection capabilities.
Specifications: The PAL LSI can store up to 648 x 2 mL vials on four tray holders. It features proprietary drive technology for detecting missing vials and ensuring correct syringe needle positioning. Fast injections are possible, reducing discrimination in gas chromatography (GC).
Sample Handling: The system ensures reproducible results through optimized injection handling. It supports precise liquid sample handling up to 100 µL, with a range of syringes available. The PAL LSI can transport vials for barcode reading or temperature-controlled storage.
Flexibility and Modules: The PAL LSI offers a wide range of optional modules, including additional tray plates, temperature-controlled Peltier stacks, wash modules, solvent modules, vortex mixer, agitator, barcode reader, and valve drive module. These modules enhance the system's flexibility for various laboratory tasks.
Software: PAL Sample Control software is user-friendly and supports routine jobs, method development, and integration with major chromatographic and mass spectrometry data systems. It optimizes sample preparation processes to increase throughput and productivity.
Dimensions and Capacity: The PAL LSI is available in compact and standard x-axis lengths, with specific dimensions and sample capacities detailed for each configuration.
Performance: The system offers high repeatability and linearity for liquid injections in both liquid chromatography (LC) and GC, with detailed specifications available upon request.
Quality and Reliability: The PAL System is widely used globally, developed under ISO 9001/13485 standards, and each unit undergoes performance testing before distribution.

Reproducible results thanks to optimized injection handling Solvent Only perfect injection handling gives reproducible results. From a simple injection (1) to sandwiching an internal standard (3): The PAL LSI is designed for the precise and accurate handling of liquid samples of up to 100 µL in volume. In combination with the PAL Sample Control software all parameters of aspirating and dispensing of liquid samples can be fully controlled. This is crucial for perfect injections. A range of syringes from 1.2 µL to 100 µL is available. In example (3) an aliquot of an internal standard is sandwiched...
