Chronos Software for Efficient Operation of PAL Systems

Chronos Software the easy to use routine software

Chronos software controlls the latest generation of PALs. It interfaces seamlessly with many common CDS and MS-data systems  or can be used for offline sample preparation. With a few clicks you can import or generate sample lists and start the data acquisition. Or you can quickly set up workflows to eliminate tedious manual operations.  Chronos allows overlapping of time consuming steps. This increases sample throughput greatly and boosts productivity.

Chronos Sample List View

Chronos software is the user-friendly tool for the daily routine jobs. With a few clicks sample lists are generated or imported. Now Chronos starts the operation and the data acquisition. Since Chronos interfaces seamlessly with most of the major chromatographic or MS data systems only one sample list has to be handled. Different user levels ensure process safety. 

Chronos Software

CHRONOS Software key features:

  • Control of multiple PAL3 systems and PAL-xt's

  • Management of multiple sample lists

  • Sending SMS notifications

  • Supports a plugin interface which allows implementation of additional devices and custom features

ASMS 2025 - Streamlined Analysis of Polar and Non-Polar Metabolites in Plasma Using Automated Micro-SPE LC/MS

This poster presents two use cases for streamlined lipid profiling in plasma using automated Micro Solid Phase Extraction (μSPE). Where the workflows on NIST (SRM 1950) plasma samples was tested, with spiked internal standard (Ultimate SPLASH ONE) and optimized the extraction and elution parameters. Briefly, it focused on two cartridge sorbent types Mixed-Mode Cation Exchange (MCX) and C18 (CEC) and showcased their usage.

ASMS 2025 - Fully automated implementation of EPA Method 1633 for LC-MS/MS analysis of PFAS in environmental samples using a customized robotic autosampler

  • Widespread use and persistence of PFAS has led to ubiquitous detection in water, soil, air, and living organisms.
  • US EPA Method 1633 is intended for analysis of PFAS in aqueous, solid and tissue samples using LCMS/ MS at part-per-trillion concentrations.
  • This method involves significant sample preparation and purification steps prior to instrumental analysis, leading to bottlenecks in sample processing.
  • We have developed a fully automated, online μSPE-LC-MS/MS workflow based on a customized LC TriPlus RSH SMART Advanced system for high-throughput analysis of PFAS in environmental samples following EPA Method 1633 guidelines

Walk away QuEChERS extracts clean-up

See this detailed video of the uSPE workflow for the clean-up of raw pesticides extract. The PAL uSPE Cartridge is operated in scavenger mode eluting the pesticides in a clean extract. The matrix is kept on the sorbent material. The cleaned extract can be injected without waiting time online for LC/MS or GC/MS analysis. All samples are treated on the same time axis for highest reliability.
