GERSTEL MAESTRO Software
Perfectly Synchronized
Sample Preparation and Analysis
Perfect synchronization is essential, when performing sample preparation and chromatographic analysis in
parallel for optimized productivity. Automated sample preparation requires reliable and compatible hardware
combined with integrated software control of the whole analysis process, including LC/MS or GC/MS analysis.
The GERSTEL MAESTRO software helps analysts find the fastest route to the results. The complete process
can be viewed using the graphical Scheduler to aid laboratory workflow planning and allows the analyst to
monitor important details while viewing the whole picture.
MAESTRO supports a range of
automated sample preparation
techniques for LC/MS and GC/MS:
• Liquid handling (e.g., adding an
internal standard, derivatizing,
extracting or generating a series
of calibration standards)
• Centrifugation, Sonication,
Weighing and Bar Code Reading
• Disposable Pipette EXtraction
(DPX)
• Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
• Dynamic Headspace (DHS)
• Thermal Desorption (TD) and
Thermal Extraction from µ-vials
• Twister/Stir Bar Sorptive
Extraction (SBSE)
• Headspace and Solid Phase
Micro-Extraction (SPME)
Sample preparation for GC/MS or LC/MS
analysis can involve sample clean-up and
liquid handling processes, such as additions
or dilutions, as well as analyte concentration
steps to reach the required limits of detection
(LOD, see box).
Using the MAESTRO Software, sample
preparation is performed while chromatography
of the preceding sample is in progress
to optimize throughput.
Urgent samples can be
inserted into the running
sequence without slowing
or halting the workflow. If the analysis
has been stopped before completion
of the entire batch, an e-mail
notification can be sent to one
or more addresses enabling users
to quickly restore productivity.
Context-sensitive help is
available for all functions and
entry fields in the software and
a remote support software tool is
included. The user can enable the
GERSTEL support team to view the software
screen via internet for fast and efficient
advice on trouble-shooting
or for
training as needed.

MAESTRO operates independently, or
fully integrated with the Agilent ChemStation
software, or coupled with the Agilent
MassHunter software. Only one method and
one sequence table is required to operate the
complete system from sample prep to GC/
MS or LC/MS analysis. Further information:
