Chronos - Software for Efficient Operation of PAL Systems

Chronos

Software for Efficient Operation of PAL Systems

The latest generation of PALs can all be controlled by the user friendly Chronos software. 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.

Easy to use routine software

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 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

Fully Automated QuEChERS for Organochlorine and Organophosphate Pesticides in Tomato Juice and Red Wine

Using PAL Robotic Tool Change (RTC) system, a fully automated QuEChERS was developed for the extraction and clean-up of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides from homogeneous samples. The automated QuEChERS workflow includes extraction with acetonitrile, salting out with
saturated sodium chloride solution and the clean-up with PAL μSPE prior to injection into the GC-MS/MS for analysis.

Smart Sampling Enables a Fully Automated Workflow for Liquid Injection and Headspace GC and GC/MS

Applying the automated workflow described, the analyst’s time to prepare samples and standards, and then optimize conditions was drastically reduced when compared to performing the experiments manually without any reduction in accuracy and reproducibility. At the same time the automated procedure enabled complete traceability of every step.

Flavor and Off-Flavor Analysis using Solid Phase Microextraction

Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) is widely used for chemical analysis of foods, beverages and food contact materials. As an automated technique, the SPME applications are selected for their simplicity, throughput and extraction efficiency. As a solvent-free extraction, it is gains even more importance today as a green analytic technique. Besides the traditional SPME Fiber, the new SPME Arrow is enhancing trace level sensitivity at high mechanical robustness. With these features, this presentation will give insight on SPME analysis in coffee, wine and off-flavors.

Walk away QuEChERS extracts clean-up

See this detailed video of the µSPE workflow for the clean-up of raw pesticides extract. The µSPE 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.
