INSTRUMENTS
As an independent supplier of analytical instruments and accessories
we have an extensive technology portfolio at our disposal.
Below you can find a selection of key tools we can offer
as well as some detailed information about each instrument.
SAMPLE PREPARATION
Automation is a key ingredient for establishing well-performing and flexible applications that can work in high throughput mode.
We recommend the MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS) from GERSTEL as a basis for automation in your lab.
This intuitive system can be adapted to your laboratory needs thanks to its modular design and works with any brand of GC or LC systems.
Its proprietary MAESTRO software is fully programmable and can also be integrated in other software packages, such as Agilent’s MassHunter platform.
We kick off with automated sample preparation for GC and GC-MS.

Modular system without carry-over
Take your sample preparation to the next level with GERSTEL’s WorkStation
and its configurable components compatible with online and offline workflows in GC-MS or LC-MS.
Using the MAESTRO software automated sample preparation steps are easily set up for maximum flexibility and ease-of-use:
Derivatization & standard addition
Dilution & extraction
Cooled or heated conditioning & mixing
Filtration
Sonication or centrifugation
Weighing of liquid samples & standards
Parallel evaporation & concentration
Reading & processing of barcodes
Automated solid phase extraction (SPE)
Disposable pipette extraction (DPX)
For increased flexibility and performance, the WorkStation can be configured with two independent robotic systems
enabling the combination of different syringes and the performance of multiple tasks using one automated system.
