Product news

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc., one of the leading developers of analytical instrumentation in the U.S., announced the showcasing of several new products and developments at the PittCon 2006 conference and exhibition.

These included an array of Prominence HPLC developments such as the Prominence High-Throughput HPLC. Ideal for Fast LC applications, the Prominence High-Throughput features high pump motor resolution (3nL/step), stable and reliable temperature control, ultra-fast 10 second injection speed with excellent injection accuracy and low carryover via the SIL-20 Autosampler, and a fast response UV detector. The inclusion of Shimadzu’s new Shim-pack XR-ODS column increases analysis speed while decreasing back pressure. In addition, Shimadzu displayed Prominence’s flexibility by showcasing specific 2-D HPLC application systems and a Method Development System, which offers the ability to configure 4 solvent pairs and up to 10 columns.

Another new instrument was the ICPE-9000 Multitype Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer. Utilizing a vacuum spectrometer equipped with semiconductor detectors, the first of its kind in ICP emission spectrometers, the IPCE-9000 offers high-performance and high-throughput, and is ideal for analyzing everything from metals and chemical products to drinking water and pharmaceuticals. A large-scale one-inch CCD detector with increased pixel size and an Echelle spectrometer allow high-speed measurements with increased resolution, while the multi-functional attributes of the software’s Assistant functions enable simple and precise measurement.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
