Sample application is the first step of Planar Chromatography and essentially determines the quality of the analysis. The degree of automation and relating thereto productivity are key factors for the HPTLC laboratory. Designed for routine use and high sample throughput, the automated ATS 4 is suited for qualitative and quantitative analyses as well as for preparative separations.
The ATS 4 is capable of applying samples as bands, spots or rectangles using the spray-on technique (spots as well through contact transfer). Starting zones in the form of narrow bands offer the best separation attainable with a given chromatographic system. Application in the form of rectangles allows precise application of large volumes without damaging the layer. Prior to chromatography, these rectangles are focused into narrow bands with a solvent of high elution strength.
The ATS 4 allows “overspotting”, i.e. a sequential application from different vials onto the same position. This technique can be used e.g. in pre-chromatographic derivatization, spiking, etc.
