Chromatography 17 AI Autosampler for Superior GC Workflows
HTA is proud to announce the release of the 3000A series, the new HTA liquid GC autosamplers. With the release of this new series, HTA have raised autosampler manufacturing up to a level never reached before: new technologies have been introduced to create effective benefits for the customers in terms of usability, speed and reliability.
The 3000A autosampler series has already received a gold award from IBO (Instrument Business Outlook) for industrial design. New stylistic details have been integrated into the instrument: a modern sharpen shape of the front panel, new branding elements and a glossy paint finish. Lab technicians will be impressed by the larger touch screen with enhanced colour depth and view-angle, and a premium ‘tablet-like’ touch experience.
The HTA 3000A liquid GC autosamplers artificial intelligence opens up a world of chromatography automation, bringing new intuitiveness and creating a more natural and fluid user experience. This technology allows the continuous optimisation of workflows, the implementation of predictive maintenance strategies and the creation of an effective real-time connection with service for a superior user experience. Predictive maintenance allows performing maintenance to the equipment only when needed in the amount that is needed. This is achieved by means of auto-diagnostic tools (such as GC septum test and syringe plunger test), while real-time connection with service means that problems are promptly solved, almost before that the user has asked for assistance by means of the QR code.
Due to the new integrated functionalities, the 3000A series provides an unrivalled automation solution for laboratories equipped with next-generation analysers and MS detectors. Sampling and injection method, reducing stress to septa, minimise the contamination of the analyser, while prep-run support have been implemented to reduce carrier gas consumption, saving operation costs and environmental impact.
Let Artificial Intelligence take your idea of automation to a new level: choose an HTA 3000A series Autosampler. More information online:

Optimised Microplate for Cannabis Sample Processing
Using a Specialist Detector for Nitrosamine Analysis in Pharmaceutical Drugs
Over the past few years, the news has seen many high-profile recalls of various pharmaceutical drugs that have been found to contain nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are carcinogenic compounds, so they must be monitored to ensure unsafe levels are not found in consumer products. Governments worldwide are now requiring reporting on Nitrosamine Levels, with manufacturers often finding the analysis anything but simple, with common issues including achieving the required detection limits and false positives.
The Ellutia 800 Series TEA is the ideal detector for nitrosamine analysis thanks to its selectivity and sensitivity for Nitroso compounds. The TEA is a chemiluminescence detector that can be interfaced with a GC, HPLC, or total nitrosamine analysis system. The TEA uses a pyrolyser in GC operation to cleave the NO group from compounds as they elute from the GC column. This NO group is then reacted with ozone which produces a photon of light which is detected.
The 800 Series TEA can be interfaced with a chemical stripping system for testing pharmaceutical drugs, allowing for rapid testing of ATNC (Apparent Total N-nitrosamine content). This uses a chemical reaction to remove the NO group rather than a pyrolyser. This technique quickly gives an accurate result for the total nitrosamine content of a sample showing both volatile and non-volatile components in a single result.
Any positive sample can be further analysed by an 800 Series TEA interfaced to a GC where volatile nitrosamines such as NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) can be separated and quantified.
Porvair Sciences has developed a 2 ml 96-well microplate whose design is optimised for labs processing cannabis samples for analysis of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).
Sample processing is the second step in testing cannabis strains. This is carried out after collecting leaf, bud, and flower samples from cannabis plants, ready for accurate determination of the THC/CBD ratio by HPLC.
Traditionally sample processing protocols have used bead-beating or grinding mills to homogenise the plant materials. When this sample processing is carried out in standard polypropylene microplates, the extreme forces applied by these machines can cause damage to the plates, leading to cracking, leaking, and incorrect results due to sample cross- contamination.
To address these design shortfalls, Porvair Sciences developed a reinforced microplate that could withstand the applied forces in bead beaters while maintaining a standard ANSI/SLAS footprint making the methodology automation compatible.
Based upon a 2 ml square well block design, Porvair Sciences cannabis sample processing microplate sets a new standard for reliable, high productivity cannabis plant processing. To ensure that no contamination from the plate will affect the THC/CBD analysis, Porvair Sciences only uses pure, extractables free polypropylene, to manufacture its plates.
