  • Less solvent consumption, no cross contamination
  • Can be combined with Shimadzu’s GCMS-TQ8040 triple quadrupole
  • Both fulfill new EU 589/2014 regulation on analyzing dioxins and PCBs samples

Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, has introduced the revolutionary GO-xHT clean-up system from MIURA Institute of Environmental Science. Shimadzu is the official distributor in Europe for introduction of the Go-xHT system. Both entities have partnered to offer the most powerful solution for clean-up on the European market. The GO-xHT targets dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) analyses of food and feedstuff.

The new MIURA automated clean-up system offers high throughput capacity with the additional benefit of saving solvents while eliminating cross contamination. It provides labs with a high quality extraction as well as high Return On Investment (ROI) thanks to an innovative flow path system.

Less solvent consumption, no cross contamination

Much faster delivery of 1 mL extracts combines with a consumption of less than 100 mL of solvent per sample. It uses only 85 mL of hexane as well as 2 mL of toluene and no dichloromethane. This is both user and eco-friendly.

The valveless system eliminates solenoid valves on the Dioxins and PCBs flow lines – the system brings no cross contamination into your analysis. All columns and tubings are disposable with easy connections.

Three GO-xHT versions are available with 2, 4 or 6 columns in parallel. The system can be purchased as a single solution or in package with Shimadzu’s GCMS-TQ8040 triple quadrupole. It combines highly efficient sample throughput, quick and easy method development, low detection limits and Scan/MRM. The GCMS-TQ8040 provides the most accurate, cost effective and easy-to-use triple quadrupole GC-MS.

Fulfills the new EU 589/2014 regulation

The combination of GO-xHT clean-up system and the GCMS-TQ8040 triple quadrupole fulfills the new EU 589/2014 regulation on analyzing of dioxins and PCBs samples.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
