Good equipment, good compatibility with our GCs
Analysis of volatile and semivolatile organic substances
The product fits the purpose and it is easy to use. To evaluate the performances is difficult because they also depend on the GC/MS coupled with the PAL system. The price is a little high. I can't evaluate the after sales care because we didn't need external support, and we manage the maintenance with our internal (dedicated) team.

Minimize PFAS background and equip your PAL Systems with Upgrade Kits for PFAS analysis
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals with water and oil repellent properties, used in a large variety of products but posing environmental and health risks. A survey conducted by 'the Analytical Scientist' revealed that 'Sample Preparation' ranks top among the main challenges for PFAS analysis, while 'Eliminating background interference' emerges as the most desirable factor for improving sensitivity.
Explore solutions to these common challenges including the PAL Systems which provide automated sample preparation to reduce errors and improve repeatability, as well as offering PFAS-free products to minimize background contamination for optimal sensitivity and accuracy.
Automated parallel derivatization strategy with broad metabolite coverage coupled to SWATH/MS data acquisition for qualitative and quantitative analysis
Explore an automated parallel derivatization strategy with Dansyl-Cl and Dansyl-N2H3 for broad metabolite coverage in LC-MS workflows. By enhancing retention time, signal-to-noise ratio, and reaction control through on-line SPE fractionation, the method improves qualitative and quantitative metabolomics. Using labeled (13C) derivatization agents with SWATH/MS data acquisition enables precise metabolite analysis, addressing limitations in polar metabolite detection and quantification.
CTC Analytics AG sample preparation compendium
Dive into the realm of sample preparation, a crucial part of the pre-analytical phase, exploring how automation – particularly using x,y,z robots and innovative tools for streamlining extraction procedures – transforms workflows for laboratories relying on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Beyond this, these workflows may also serve as an inspiration for other analytical platforms.
Rice flavor compounds from robotically cooked rice
Rice is the seed of Oryza sativa L. and aromatic rice varieties have recently gained wider acceptance across the globe. Because of their characteristic aroma and flavor, they are highly favored and command higher prices in rice markets. Thus the ability to analyze flavor profiles is relevant to food quality laboratories. The rice seed itself usually does not release flavor or aroma compounds. By cooking in continuous boiling water for about 10 minutes, the fragrance components are released. The fragrance products might be formed through the Maillard reaction. In this application note, CTC Analytics introduces a simple, reliable, and full automated method for boiling and analyzing rice samples.
