New Simulated Distillation Gas Chromatography System Achieves High-Accuracy Analysis for the Oil and Petrochemical Industry

18 Mar 2013

Product news

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has launched a simulated distillation gas chromatography software package for use with their GC-2010 Plus-based simulated distillation GC. The resulting system is optimal for feedstock characterization in the oil refinery process.

The combination of Shimadzu’s GC-2010 Plus high-performance capillary gas chromatograph and LabSolutions simulation distillation software permits accurate and highly reproducible analysis of high-boiling components (up to 120 carbon number) in crude oil samples. The system’s dedicated injection unit achieves low carryover and provides analysis results with high reproducibility.

The simulated distillation GC analysis software function appears in the LabSolutions chromatography workstation menus for a series of operations from calibration to sample analysis. It supports the calculation of the physical properties required for process management in oil refinery plants. It also provides statistical calculations and multi-sample data comparison required for product quality control.

A distillation characteristics curve and reference oil analysis chromatogram can be overlaid in reports. Flexible report generation allows free arrangement and customization of items. The software provides comprehensive post-run analysis functions, including the calculation of physical properties and the creation of summary reports for multiple data.

Shimadzu’s simulated distillation system meets all ASTM, ISO, EN and JIS simulated distillation GC standards.

GC solution and GCMS solution

LabSolutions is Shimadzu´s software series for chromatography (GC, GCMS, LC, LCMS). The unified graphical interface makes it easy to work with Shimadzu chromatography products. The GCsolution and GCMSsolution is the perfect partner for the Shimadzu GC and GCMS product range. The GCsolution controls the GC-2010 and GC-2014 (from Ver. 2.3) as well as the previous models GC-14 and GC-17. The GCMSsolution Ver. 2 controls the GCMS-QP2010 Plus and GCMS-QP2010S (from Ver. 2.3).

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.
