Intelligent Automation

The Windows based software Cycle Composer provides remote control for the PAL family of chromatography „Front End" liquid handling systems. The Cycle Composer software allows the operator to easily setup, edit and run PAL System methods for even very complex „Prep and Load" applications.

Easy to use

The Cycle Composer affords complete control over sequence and location of liquid handling steps, thereby increasing throughput and productivity of the PAL System. The „Point and click" operation quickly directs the user through programming steps that configure instrument setup, methods and sample lists. For routine daily use, no special programming skills are needed. The Cycle Composer contains a library of common liquid handling procedures including sample transfer, reagent/standard addition, mixing and dilution steps.

Customize your PAL instrument

As with the PAL hardware concept the Cycle Composer is already prepared for individual application requirements. Additional flexibility can be assigned to the procedures by using the powerful Cycle Composer macro language, which expands the application range of every PAL System.

Single keyboard operation

The Cycle Composer can be used as an independent standalone software platform or if required fully integrated into leading LC-MS or GC-MS data acquisition systems. Currently a wide variety of control drivers are available either through CTC Analytics or the instrument vendor.
