CTC Analytics Option for PAL3
Miniaturize and automate solid phase extraction.
The PAL3-µSPE option combines miniaturized solid phase extraction with automatic sample preparation. As a result, sample and solvent volumes can be reduced without dispensing with efficient purification.
A conventional PAL3 syringe transfers the sample directly into the upper part of the uSPE cartridge. If required, a washing step with solvent follows. The lower outlet can penetrate pre-slit septa of sample vessels or discharge directly into an injection valve of liquid chromatography.
- Pressure-resistant to 10 bar
- Sealed connection to the syringe needle
- Fast loading of even larger sample volumes
- Less sample and solvent required
- Automated process with the PAL3


Terms: u stands for micro and denotes the miniaturized embodiment. SPE means solid phase extraction, in German solid phase extraction. The sorbent is the solid material in the cartridge that specifically retains components of the sample.
