Ingenious sample handling

v Liquid Handling Steps J Get Liquid From Vial PAL Method Composer is the new tool to easily develop and test methods directly with the PAL3 System. It offers users direct access to all the PAL3 System's capabilities. Methods are easily and intuitively created from the steps available by "Drag&Drop". Each method consists of one or several steps performing certain tasks. The sequence of all steps constitutes the method. Dispense Liq. Into Vial Completed methods are imported and directly used in the particular CDS or MS-Data System for running the PAL3 System as part of a LC-MS or GC-MS...

The graphical user interface shows all necessary information in a clear and well-structured view. The different sections show the available steps, the list of tools and modules, a graphical display of the PAL System's setup, and the method being generated. The sections can be rearranged by the user and varied in size - steps and modules can be expanded or collapsed revealing or hiding aditional information. When the program is closed, the adapted “View" will be stored and restored next time the Method Composer is opened again. vControl Steps Cleaning Steps Liquid Handling Steps Clean...

Method Pane - watch your method grow All steps of the method are displayed in the logical order. You can add new steps using drag and drop, or move or delete existing steps. A gray line shows the position, a new step will be entered. By “mouse-over” the modules involved for each step are highlighted in the Modules Pane. To edit the parameters of a step it can be expanded. The parameters of the steps are populated with default values that were experimentally determined. Pop-up messages provide detailed information about steps and their parameters. However, each step can be adjusted for...

Support for µSPE workflows The new version of the PMC supports µSPE workflows. Additional µSPE and supporting steps have been added. The new steps include rinsing, blowing, mixing and preparing of µSPE cartridges.

Easy adaption of methods - for transfer from PALSystem to PALSystem Of course, each method is still tailor-made for the PAL system it was created for. Due to the possibly different configurations of different PAL systems, methods cannot be easily exchanged between them. However, to ensure an easy transfer of methods between different systems, methods can be exported in such a way that the values of the individual parameters of a step can be adjusted. In this way, methods can be easily adapted afterwards to allow the use on different systems with different configurations. Model workflow to...
