Dual-probe design allows the complete separation of injection, collection and collection path flows, providing true high throughput processing
Presearch announces the launch of the IFC Pal by CTC Analytics.
The IFC Pal combines sample injection and fraction collection with unmatched capacity and versatility, says the company.
The dual-probe design allows the complete separation of injection, collection and collection path flows, providing true high throughput processing never achieved before by conventional auto-purification solutions, it says.
During fraction collection the next sample injection is already prepared and executed, overlapping the two processes results in dramatically faster cycle times compared to single-probe systems.
The IFC Pal is available in two different system configurations.
The analytical version consists of up to five sample stacks each holding 324x2ml or six deepwell plates/standard plates (96 or 384 wells).
The semi-preparative version includes one sample tray holder and 14 test tube trays in a wide variety of tube sizes.
Both systems contain carefully adapted hardware components to meet the specific needs of the two different applications.
The easy-to-use IFC Pal software package is specifically designed to control each single step of the purification process.
It allows the control of LC pumps and detectors to collect fractions in manual mode or in a choice of three programmable modes: time based mode using individual time slices per sample; peak-based mode using an analogue signal eg UV or ELSD detector; and mass triggered mode using an output signal of the MS for mass fractionation
