Products
Advanced i-Series integrated HPLC/UHPLC
The first UHPLC system designed to support remote workstyle! Shimadzu has announced the release of its Advanced i-Series liquid chromatography series. The i-Series boasts increased pressure resistance and applies analytical intelligence (AI) automated features to support remote work, such as real-time remote mobile phase monitoring (1 L-5 L bottles), auto-diagnostics and auto-recovery functions, i-PeakFinder for automatic peak integration and many other beneficial features. Operators can set the i-Series to start up at a specified time, so that it can complete auto-purge, equilibration, baseline checks and system suitability in advance automatically. The smart FlowPilot ramps up the flow rate gradually, reducing the possibility of pressure shock, and allowing the column oven to reach a desired temperature. This minimises the risk of damaging the column that could over time affect the data quality, and, therefore, supporting the acquisition of high quality, reproducible data at all times. Furthermore, AI now allows the system to continually monitor and diagnose itself, where the system can handle any issues during data acquisition without user input, and automatically behave as if it was operated by an expert. The new i-Series UHPLC system allows for remote system operation and monitoring via web browser or a smart device. Users can now implement methods, set batch analysis, analyse results and create reports without being in front of the instrumentation! The integrated i-Series UHPLC systems address the demands of a range of users, locations and approaches to analysis while always delivering highly reliable analytical results. The Advanced i-Series is designed for analysing a large number of samples and quickly re-processing data even when working from home. All these features were designed with analysts in mind to help with changing and adapting workflows.
Brevis GC-2050
Brevis GC-2050 is the latest innovation in gas chromatography technology. Smaller, simpler, and easier to use – without compromising performance. This new space-saving GC delivers uncompromising analytical performance in a modern yet rugged design, easily meeting the analysis needs of laboratories in a range of industries. At the core of the Brevis GC-2050 is its space-saving yet expandable design. With a system width of just 350 mm, including an auto-injector, it maximises laboratory space utilisation. Compared to the flagship NexisGC-2030, the system's width has been reduced by approximately 35%. Remarkably, this compact design doesn't sacrifice versatility. You can seamlessly connect additional headspace samplers, a mass spectrometer, and other upcoming accessories, offering unparalleled scalability to cover the analytical needs of today's GC/GCMS users. Furthermore, despite its space-saving design, the Brevis GC-2050 boasts a sufficiently sized GC oven that eliminates the need for a dedicated column. This innovation allows the use of up to two general capillary columns simultaneously, enhancing flexibility and streamlining your analytical workflows.
MALDI-8030
Affordable Class-leading Workhorse The MALDI-8030 is the latest in a long line of MALDI-TOF products from Shimadzu. Instrument performance specifications is extended from those of the MALDI-8020 to cater for compounds best suited to analysis in negative ion mode. This dual-polarity, benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivers outstanding performance in a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for today’s increasingly demanding laboratories. Key features: - Dual mode (positive/negative ion) MALDI-TOF - 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm - Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction - UV laser-based source cleaning (patented) - Flexibility - Small footprint/benchtop design - Quiet operation (<55 dB)
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.
