Model:                 MPS2

This is what your MPS does

High productivity, maximum sample throughput

• Complete automation from sample preparation to GC/MS or LC/MS analysis: Manual steps are reduced to a minimum
• Optimal system utilization through intelligent multiple nesting of sample preparation and analysis run (PrepAhead) – even with multi-method sequences
• Urgent samples can be inserted into the current sequence at any time. This means that the necessary flexibility is maintained even in routine operation.
• Easy handling of the entire system through integrated control via only one sequence list and – depending on the system – only one method

Safe and trouble-free operation

• By logging all system parameters in a log file, the processes are always clearly traceable
• The robust and reliable technology of the MPS has proven itself thousands of times in laboratories worldwide
• Timely and location-independent status information via e-mail to ensure workflows
• Clear real-time display of the current device parameters according to individual requirements

Maximum flexibility

• Multi-method sequences enable flexible analysis and rapid method development
• The modular concept of the MPS allows the integration of many different sample preparation techniques – and thus easy adaptation to future analytical questions
• Different syringes can be used to perform different sample preparation and sample application techniques in parallel

Simple, safe and intuitive operation

• Easy editing of self-explanatory sample preparation steps in the MAESTRO software – with a mouse click and without macro programming
• A sequence table and – depending on the system – a method controls the entire analytical system including GC/MS or LC/MS
• High occupational safety thanks to minimized risk of contact with harmful solvents
