ONTARIO, Calif.–DPS Instruments, Inc., manufacturer of the world’s only modular gas chromatograph systems, announced that it has formed a new company to better serve the European community called DPS Instruments Europe GmbH.

David Pierce, President of DPS Instruments, said, “The new company, strategically located near Bonn Germany, has been formed as the central sales and service center for Western Europe. The technical staff in the new facility have a solid history of GC sales and service. We believe that the DPS customer in Europe will be in safe and competent hands. It is our goal to have DPS Instruments globally sold and serviced through DPS companies. The facility in Germany is our first joint venture and we are very excited about the potential of this newly founded company. If the recent Analytica 2008 trade show in Munich Germany is any indication of the warm reception of the European community, DPS Instruments Europe GmbH is off to a stellar start.”

Susanne Schambeck, the new Managing Director of DPS Instruments Europe GmbH, said, “The great performance of the DPS 600 Series Gas Chromatograph and the tremendous response of the newly introduced 500 Series Companion GC offer a solid foundation on which to build our business. We have a number of dealers and distributors already signed up in several countries and are actively interviewing other strong candidates.”

The 500 Series Companion GC is small and portable and yet has the same features and sensitivity of the laboratory based 600Series Modular GC Systems. Many of the same modular components, such as electronic pressure controllers, easy to use touch screen user interface, and the fully programmable column oven, with the unique “Soft Landing,” that the 600 Series DPS GC’s are known for, are standard features on the Companion GC. The versatility of the Companion GC makes it a very attractive instrument to take with you wherever your sampling needs demand.
