The CTC PAL family of Autosamplers have met widespread acceptance in HPLC and GC operations. Their versatile operation and flexible options allow them to be used in laboratories demanding high precision, low carryover, high throughput and expandability. Agilent Technologies now offers instrument control software for CTC PAL Autosamplers so that they can be used as the autosampler for HPLC or GC systems controlled by the EZChrom Elite CDS or Agilent OL Operating System for the Laboratory.
The CTC PAL family of autosamplers offers versatile operation for high precision and throughput in HPLC and GC laboratories. This document details the software interface that enables industry-standard RS-232 communication between EZChrom Elite or Agilent OL operating systems and CTC hardware models including CombiPAL, GC-PAL, LC-PAL, and HTS_HTC PAL.
The software provides a uniform interface for all CTC autosampler settings, simplifying laboratory operations and user training. Key features include automatic configuration of installed trays and options, support for custom cycles via the Cycle Editor, and intelligent sequence management using SmartSequence technology to handle conditional logic based on injection results.
