Agilent Technologies - CTC PAL Autosampler Systems

Agilent CTC PAL Automated Sample Injectors: Avoid the hassles and costs of using separate autosamplers from separate companies.

The CTC PAL sample injectors enable GC and GC/MS laboratories to increase productivity with greater automated sample preparation capabilities and a variety of sample vial options. The high-end CombiPAL sample injector offers three types of sample injection techniques: liquid injection, headspace, and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The lower-cost GC PAL platform can be configured for liquid injection only but offers many of the other capabilities of the CombiPAL including large volume injection (LVI), multiple vial sizes, and extended sample vial capacity.
