Automated Sample Prep Workflow Solutions for Every Analytical Laboratory Worldwide

Key Takeaways

  • Manual sample prep consumes 60% of time spent during analysis and contributes to 30% of errors.
  • Automated sample prep workflows with micromethods reduce the cost per sample in any laboratory, foster the progress of green analytical chemistry in the lab, and use 10–50x less solvent compared to manual workflows.

Thomas Läubli, CSO of CTC Analytics, demonstrates how automated sample preparation workflows and AI-driven software address the significant time and error rates associated with manual laboratory processes.

Manual sample preparation remains one of the most time-intensive and error-prone stages of the analytical workflow, ultimately impacting consistency and data quality. The PAL System addresses these challenges with advanced automated sample preparation workflows designed to modernize laboratory operations and deliver more reliable, reproducible results.

At the core of this approach are “micromethods,” which support green analytical chemistry by significantly reducing solvent consumption without compromising performance. AI-integrated software enables rapid development of complex methods, transforming what once took hours into a streamlined process completed in minutes. These innovations are helping laboratories transition away from manual processes toward smarter, more efficient workflows.
