Family-owned in the second generation since its founding in 1967, GERSTEL is mainly focused on automated sample preparation for Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS).  

The GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS) is an autosampler and sample preparation robot, compatible with all standard GC and GC/MS systems. The MPS performs all common sample introduction techniques: Liquid, Large Volume Injection , Headspace, Dynamic Headspace, SPME, Thermal Desorption, and Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction using the GERSTEL Twister. Using the MAESTRO software PrepAhead function, sample preparation steps are performed during the analysis of the preceding sample for best possible system utilization and highest sample throughput.
