Product news

Plan a visit to booth #1460 at PittCon 2009, where we’ll be showcasing our full range of products. From HPLC/UFLC, GC, Mass Spectrometry and Life Science instruments to a full spectrum of spectroscopic equipment (UV-Vis, FTIR, Fluorescence, Atomic (AA/ICP), and X-ray), TOC Analyzers, Materials Testers and Balances, Shimadzu offers the best solutions for research, development and applications to meet your specific disciplinary needs.

See what’s new from Shimadzu at PittCon 2009!

Shimadzu continues to lead the world in developing analytical and testing technologies, and PittCon will once again serve as a launch pad for Shimadzu’s latest instrumentation. At PittCon 2009, we’ll be introducing a variety of new products, including:

• LCMS-2020 mass spectrometer – the fastest and most sensitive single-quad on the market

• BioSpec-nano spectrophotometer – ideal for life science applications with drop-and-click analysis and quick, simple operation

• AA-7000 atomic absorption spectrophotometer – flame/furnace models deliver unprecedented sensitivity with a newly developed 3D optical system

• MDGC/GCMS-2010 multidimensional GC – simplifies the normally difficult separation and quantification of compounds in complex, multi-component samples

• IG-1000 single nano particle size analyzer – delivers sensitive, reproducible analysis of single nanoparticles

• PPSQ-31-A/33-A protein sequencer – achieves greater simplicity and reliability, and reduces running costs

In addition to our booth, we will be hosting multiple posters and presentations in such sessions/areas as clinical/toxicology, forensics, fuels/energy/petrochemical, environmental, food, omics methodology, and LCMC/GCMS applications.

Visit us at booth #1460 to learn how Shimadzu can address your application requirements and equip your lab with the solution you need.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples. Find the best atomic absorption, photoelectron and optical emission spectrometers 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. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
