The MultiPurpose Sampler MPS is a multifunctional autosampler and sample preparation robot for GC (GC/MS), LC (LC/MS)and standalone operation.

Sample preparation steps are performed during the analysis of the preceding sample for best system utilization and highest sample throughput. Sample preparation steps are performed in a controlled and highly accurate and reproducible manner for best possible results. Every step is selected by mouse-click form a pull-down menu in the GERSTEL MAESTRO software and added to the overall GC/MS or LC/MS method.

Available sample preparation steps are:

• Derivatization and Standard addition
• Dilution and extraction
• Cooled or heated conditioning and mixing
• Parallel evaporation and concentration (mVAP)
• Sonication and Centrifugation
• Automated weighing of liquid samples and standards
• Solid Phase Extraction SPE
• Disposable Pipette Extraction DPX
• Reading and processing of barcodes
• Automated Twister desorption and analysis
• Twister Back Extraction TBE
• Automated GC inlet Liner EXchange ALEX
• Dynamic Headspace DHS
• Thermal Desorption and Thermal Extraction
