Flexible and Reliable Productivity Tools for Your Lab from CTC Analytics

LEAP Technologies is the official North American Distributor for CTC Analytics and has been providing laboratory sample prep automation equipment and support for over 20 years. We are experts in Robotics and Liquid Handling for LC, GC, and Mass Spec. We specialize in customizing and supporting the CTC Analytics PAL autosampler platform.

Turn Your CTC Analytics 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. You dont have to know how - you just have to know LEAP. 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. We have various software packages to choose from including all major data systems.

A recent example of our custom solutions is a PAL workstation for the handling of semi-solids such as gels, creams and pastes. LEAP also partners with many other companies to bundle specific sample handling and solvent delivery automation or full integration with analytical equipment.

HTC-xt PAL with DLW
HTC-xt PAL with DLW

The HTC-xt and HTS-xt, the new versions of the CTC Analytics PAL Sample Handler are primarily designed as high throughput liquid chromatography injector systems for the Life Science market where sticky compounds and higher sensitivity mass spectrometers demand near zero carryover.

Contact LEAP if you have any additional questions about the HTC-xt or HTS-xt

The HTC-xt and HTS-xt feature:

  • A new state-of-the-art new electronics board
  • Dynamic Load and Wash (DLW) concept

This results in:

  • Keeping sample away from the syringe, plus fast, effective washing of all wetted path
  • Near-zero carryover results from run to run
  • Larger memory capacity for more objects
  • Faster basic motor speeds
  • Controls additional solenoid valves and other accessories
  • Externally exchangeable fuse, which protects electronics
  • Ethernet as well as RS 232 interface
  • New firmware 4.x not available for old boards

Upgrade path available for newer HTC and HTS PALs from CTC Analytics. For other PALs the incentive is small to switch to the new electronics.
