Drawellanalytical is a leader in providing gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems and chromatography solutions that enable researchers and scientists to advance discovery in a wide range of industries. For over 50 years, the company has pioneered innovations in chromatography technology and mass spectrometry that have transformed capabilities for chemical analysis and pushed the boundaries of what's possible. Today, Drawellanalytical's GC-MS systems and chromatography solutions continue to drive discovery by delivering unparalleled performance, productivity, and insight.

 

State-of-the-Art GC-MS Systems 

 

At the core of Drawellanalytical's portfolio are its industry-leading GC-MS systems, which set new standards for speed, sensitivity, and identification confidence. Key platforms include the D-9000 GC-MS/MS system and the D-6500 Series GC-MS systems.  

 

The D-9000 GC-MS/MS redefined high-performance mass spectrometry with the introduction of MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometry) capabilities for unmatched selectivity and confidence in identification. It features an innovative dual-pressure linear ion trap (DPLIT) that can generate MS/MS spectra more than 20 times faster than previous generation systems. The D-9000 is opening up new avenues of research across industries like environmental, food safety, clinical research, and more by enabling the analysis of complex samples that could not be fully resolved before. 

 

For labs seeking excellent GC-MS performance at a more affordable price point, the D-6500 Series GC-MS systems deliver the chromatographic separation and identification capabilities required for many applications. Models like the D-6500CX GC-MS/MS further extend the utility of Drawellanalytical's advanced MS/MS technology to more users. All D-6500 systems feature Drawellanalytical's True chromatographic separation for clear detection of co-eluting compounds as well as Assurance of Detection triple quadrupole mass spectrometry for confident identification down to trace levels.

 

Comprehensive Chromatography Solutions

 

In addition to its cutting-edge GC-MS platforms, Drawellanalytical provides labs with comprehensive chromatography solutions for automated sample preparation, separation, and analysis. This includes everything from autosamplers, columns, and software to complete workflow solutions tailored for specific applications. 

 

For automating the sample prep and analysis process, Drawellanalytical offers the Assist Sample Prep workstation and AssayBuilder software. The workstation fully automates sample derivatization, extraction, filtration, concentration, and injection - standardizing methods across labs. AssayBuilder then links to the GC-MS letting users setup fully automated quantitation methods and batch runs from a simple GUI without the need for coding. These solutions significantly boost throughput and efficiency while reducing variability and errors.

 

Separation scientists also rely on Drawellanalytical's extensive catalog of gas chromatography columns for achieving optimal resolution of analytes. The company's high performance cross-linked phases like Opti-Wax, Rxi-5Sil MS, and Rxi-17Sil MS columns are renowned for their inertness, efficiency, and reproducibility. Drawellanalytical also offers specialized columns tailored for targeted application areas like pesticides, flavor & fragrances, petroleum, and more. 

 

Customers can further leverage Drawellanalytical's chromatography software solutions like the Compound Discoverer bioinformatics platform for profiling unknowns and the Mass Mountaineer intelligent workflow manager to standardize operation of GC-MS systems across multiple users and sites. When combined with Drawellanalytical's instrumentation and expert services, these software solutions enable highly productive multi-technique analytical workflows.
