Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) with the GERSTEL Twister® is known for its exceptional sensitivity and solvent-free operation. However, this workflow remains partially dependent on manual steps, which limits throughput capacity and can lead to variability in results.
GERSTEL AutoTwister fully automates the workflow of the Twister®. From sample preparation and extraction to thermal desorption and GC-MS analysis: all steps are performed without manual intervention. This results in higher reproducibility, consistent data quality, and a significant reduction in workload.
Reliable trace analysis thanks to automated SBSE
The proven performance of Twister® technology forms the basis for the AutoTwister. Thanks to the large sorption volume, efficient, solvent-free enrichment of analytes is possible for both liquid and gaseous samples. This makes the system particularly suitable for highly sensitive trace analysis.
By fully automating the workflow, including extraction, cleaning, and introduction into the GC-MS system, AutoTwister eliminates the need for manual intervention. This ensures better reproducibility, higher recovery, and lower quantification limits.
Laboratories benefit from an integrated solution that delivers reliable, consistent results, even at low concentrations.
Broad applicability and high efficiency
With AutoTwister, laboratories are transforming SBSE from a labor-intensive technique into an automated, efficient, and scalable analysis method. The combination of high sensitivity, consistently low background noise, and excellent reproducibility makes the system suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Environmental analysis
- Analysis of food and beverages
- Aroma and scent research
- Packaging analysis
- Pharmaceutical and life sciences applications
Thanks to the significantly reduced hands-on time, laboratories can increase their throughput without compromising on quality.
