Liquid mode Prep and Load Platform Start with Liquid mode Every single injection step is individually controlled through PAL-xt advanced software package Liquid injection volume up to 500µl for LVI applications Nanoliter injection mode Fast injection cycle time In liquid injection mode, every single injection step, e.g. fill/inject speed, pre- and post injection delay times, pre- and post syringe cleaning, variable needle penetration depths, or standard addition is individually controlled through the PAL COMBI-xt's advanced software package. LVI (Large Volume Injection) allows to inject...

PAL COMBI-xt equipped with Stacks for MT / DW plates 1ml micro vials 2ml standard vials 10ml or 20ml vials deepwell microplates standard microplates Syringe cleaning: Wash Station for 2 different solvents and 1 standard liquid Solvent reservoirs for Dilutions / Derivatisations

Headspace Option Prep and Load Platform Upgrade to Headspace mode Eliminates dead volume and adsorption effect in sample loops and transfer lines Permits adjustable sample volumes without sample loop changes No sample dilution due to vial pressurization With the syringe only concept of the PAL COMBI-xt a headspace technology has been introduced to eliminate the headaches commonly associated with conventional Autosamplers. The robotic vial processing operation allows sample analysis in a straightforward and systematic way. Sample vials are transported into the heated six position incubator...
