CTC Analytics PAL Systems
From Injection to Full Expiry
PAL systems automate sample preparation and sample application for gas and liquid chromatography. Choose between PAL RSI, PAL RTC and the DHR system with two heads.

The main equipment
Three systems. Different tasks.
CTC Analytics’ modular PAL platform combines sample preparation and injection. Decisive for the choice of equipment are tool changes, sequence complexity and desired sample throughput.
Automate complex processesPAL RTC
PAL RTC changes tools automatically and combines several steps of sample preparation with the subsequent injection.
Reliable routine analysisPAL RSI
PAL RSI is the robust introduction to the automated sample introduction. Tools are changed manually; the system can later be upgraded to RTC functionality.
High sample flow ratePAL DHR
PAL DHR combines two independently operating robot heads. Sample preparation and injections can be planned in parallel, also for two gas or liquid chromatographs.Selection aid
The differences at a glance.
| System | Tool change and construction | Focus and specificities |
|---|---|---|
| PAL RTC | Automatic | Automate complex processes |
| One head | Derivatization and further preparation steps without manual intervention | |
| PAL RSI | Manual | Reliable routine analysis |
| One head | Later upgrade to automatic RTC tool change possible | |
| PAL DHR | Depending on head configuration | High sample flow rate |
| Two heads | Automatic scheduling and collision control |
PAL stands for Prep and Load System – Prepare and Surrender Samples.
