Lab Connections

Company Overview

Lab Connections, a subsidiary of Leap Technologies Inc., is a supplier of sample automation systems and services built upon proprietary technology for liquid chromatography with Fournier-transform infrared mass spectroscopy (LC-FTIR) and with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MALDI/MS). Applications include product deformulation, polymer characterization, drug identification, and impurity profiling.

The Lab Connections approach is more than just a simple instrument interface. The concept provides an automated sample preparation device and a bridge between chromatography and spectrometry. The real power of the technology is the ability to conduct in-depth spectral analysis of each separated component.
