Nexera UHPLC Series
Evolution with AI Invented by a Russian botanist in 1903, Chromatography has become one of the most essential techniques benefitting society and humankind. Everyday uses range from testing the quality of food through to developing new life-saving drugs. Shimadzu are the first to incorporate their AI into a next generation of analytical chromatography instruments; named the Nexera series. Analytical intelligence includes algorithms able to intelligently resolve compounds previously undetected or smart auto-diagnostics and auto-recovery functions allowing a system to monitor and diagnose itself, handle any issues during data acquisition without user input, and automatically behave as if it were operated by an expert. Nexera series offers New Benchmarks to the Chromatographic world.
UV-1900i
Shimadzu's New UV-1900 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer Offers the Industry's Fastest Level Scan Function and LabSolutions UV-Vis Control Software. The UV-1900 features a large, easy-to-use color touch panel as well as excellent operability, such as support for five languages, including Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, it can perform high-accuracy quantitative analysis, thanks to a proprietary low stray light diffraction grating, the same device used in our top-of-the-range UV-VIS spectrophotometers. Connecting this instrument with Shimadzu's analysis data management system provides integrated data management with various analysis instruments, in an environment compatible with guidelines and regulations related to electronic records and electronic signatures. LabSolutions UV-Vis, Shimadzu's UV-Vis control software released simultaneously, contributes to data pass/fail judgments via its spectral evaluation functions.
