HPTLC PRO

Fully automated analytical system for routine quality control

In a nutshell

First fully automated HPTLC system worldwide

The HPTLC PRO SYSTEM is a state-of-the-art analytical system engineered to transform laboratory workflows through full automation of the HPTLC process. It ensures precise qualitative and quantitative analyses across diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, food safety, environmental testing, and herbal drug analysis. With Swiss-engineered precision, it meets advanced analytical demands with unparalleled reliability.

The system employs 20 x 10 cm HPTLC plates and features an innovative high-throughput design that automates each process step. Its modular setup processes up to five glass plates autonomously, even overnight, drastically improving efficiency.

Tailored for routine quality control of analytes from complex matrices, the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM delivers reproducible and reliable results. By eliminating manual intervention, its conveyor system seamlessly transports plates between modules, streamlining the workflow.

Compliant with cGMP standards, the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM ensures consistent results while reducing operating costs, thanks to its minimized solvent consumption.

Full process automation
No manual intervention
Analysis of up to 75 samples in one run
Built-in conveyor for plate transfer
Modular design
Software-controlled with visionCATS

SYSTEM MODE

With HPTLC PRO, users have the choice to either operate multiple modules in a SYSTEM MODE or a single module as stand-alone. In the SYSTEM MODE, a conveyor moves the HPTLC plate from one module to the other, eliminating manual intervention between individual process steps.

Stand-alone operation

When operated as stand-alone, the HPTLC plate is inserted on the left side and ejected on the right side after processing.

HPTLC PRO Module APPLICATION

The samples are applied as bands onto the HPTLC glass plate (20 x 10 cm) with the HPTLC PRO Module APPLICATION. Up to 75 samples can be applied autonomously. Precision of the applied volume, exact positioning and sharpness of applied zones determine the quality of the final result.

Autonomous application of up to 75 samples
Optimized spraying procedure adapted for each sample solvent
Software-controlled by visionCATS

HPTLC PRO Module DEVELOPMENT

The HPTLC PRO Module DEVELOPMENT, using HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm), operates completely autonomously. The activity of the stationary phase can be adjusted, and the gas phase can be actively circulated during development, allowing a better separation of the analytes.

Development of up to 5 HPTLC plates (20 x 10 cm)
Support of up to 3 different developing solvents
HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm)

NEW

HPTLC PRO Module DERIVATIZATION

Substances without chromophores or fluorophores can be visualized by automated spraying of specific reagents onto the HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm) with the HPTLC PRO Module DERIVATIZATION, controlled by visionCATS HPTLC Software. The module features an integrated plate heating unit.

Integrated plate heating unit
Handling of two different derivatization reagents

Launch in 2025

HPTLC PRO Module DETECTION

Hyperspectral data, acquired with the HPTLC PRO Module DETECTION, are used to characterize and quantify all analytes. They are obtained by using polychromatic light or specific LEDs for excitation together with an imaging spectrometer. The HPTLC Software visionCATS is used for data evaluation.

Excitation with Xenon or LED
Detection range from 190-950 nm
Absorbance and fluorescence measurement

Launch in 2025

HPTLC PRO Module MS-INTERFACE

HPTLC-MS coupling allows for verification of the chemical structure of analytes by Mass Spectrometry or offline collection for further analysis. Any position on the plate can be selected via the HPTLC Software visionCATS to be automatically eluted with the HPTLC PRO Module MS-INTERFACE.

Automated positioning of the elution head
Optimal cleaning procedure between elutions
Integrated elution pump

HPTLC Pro Module PLATE STORAGE

Hosting two portable stackers for five clean and five processed HPTLC glass plates (20 x 10 cm) each, the HPTLC PRO Module PLATE STORAGE enables the autonomous operation of the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM by providing the system with clean plates and storing the processed plates during or after analysis.

Prerequisite for autonomous processing of up to five HPTLC plates (20 x 10 cm) in the HPTLC PRO SYSTEM
Improved workflow and efficiency through one-time plate loading prior to analyses
Enables running a sequence of analyses autonomously overnight
