We are very happy with the results that the HPLC instrument offers!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area: Chemical engineering

"The HPLC system in our lab (Romania) is very effective and the custom care and service provided by the sales representative in Romania has been exceptional. Always available to help the researcher and come with a solution. The system offers ease of acces through intuitive software design. Also the pretreatment of the samples (depending on the application) with the autosampler is very much appreciated. The system offers reliable results."

The modern clinic is meaningless without a UHPLC-MS system!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Metabolomics, drug metabolism, clinical chemistry

"It is an outstanding UHPLC system. Paired with the Qtrap 6500, these instruments have been essential for gaining knowledge of drug metabolism in our hospital, method development, therapeutic drug monitoring, biomarker research through metabolomics, etc."

Fairly good product but could be better.
Rating: 3.3

  • Application Area:Pharmaceuticals

"This is not the most robust UPLC I've used in my career. I have had good results with my separations but the instrument itself has had many technical issues. For the most part I've had good customer service from Shimadzu."

Great instrument, a little complex but written SOP is provided.
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Stability assay

"A little difficult to use but the users manual is pretty thorough and the help button is pretty useful. Batch process is very useful. Tubings are stable in polar organic solvent such as water, acetonitrile, ethyle acetate, but seems to have trouble with nonpolar low viscous solvent such as hexane."

The results are reliable and reproducible with high percentages of recovery.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Analyze emergent compounds and mycrocistin LR water samples

"The equipment is easy to use for analyzing pharmaceutical compounds in drinking water, wastewater, lake, run water, river. Its software is very friendly. The reproducibility and sensitivity are very good, allowing low limits of quantification and detection. Maintenance is cheap and easy. Its cost is easily recovered by performing different kinds of analysis in a short time."

Great hardware and support but the software could use some adjusting for new users.
Rating: 3.0

  • Application Area:Pharmeceutical seperation

"I would say that the product hardware is great. It has great function and great ease of use. the issue that arises is the LabSolutions software. The software is not as intuitive as other chromatography software in the past. It seems that there is are 4 ways to do any function hidden all through the program and they should be easier to find and use."

Overall I recommend this instrument for any UHPLC (below 10000 psi) need.
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Pharma, CRO, Biothecnologies

"The UHPLC Shimadzu Nexera really surprised me with its roughness. Being an instrument maintenance specialist, this is very important for me. Chromatography is as good as a Waters UPLC and carry over is absent. If carry over is observed, there is more than enough options to remove it. The new rack changer is working properly since there is no error but it is not very efficient."

Excellent reproducibility, accurate analysis, real asset to R&D people.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Analysis of Impurities in Intermediates preparation for specialty chemicals

"Easy to use, need a bit of training from the vendor, which is available 24/7. Gives quick separation of peaks, uses a low-volume gradient unit with 4-solvent low-pressure gradient analysis. Ideal for method development, wide range of analysis."

Shimadzu’s Nexera X2 Series delivers superior, real-world performance across a wider application range while delivering unparalleled flexibility and reliability in HPLC/UHPLC analyses.

Like its predecessor, the Nexera X2 is optimized to enable analysis at pressures up to 19,000 psi without compromising performance and data quality. Nexera X2 autosamplers provide near-zero carryover, support ultrafast analysis with the world’s fastest cycle time (14 secs), and deliver excellent injection reproducibility down to 0.1µL injection volumes. In addition, the Nexera X2 systems can be configured with a variety of solvent delivery units and column ovens to meet any laboratory workflow.

The modular nature of Nexera X2 allows a solvent blending function that can mix up to 4 solvents per pump at a desired ratio, allowing you to change the proportion of the mobile phase components from run to run so there is no solvent wasted. This function also speeds up method development by automating solvent dilution, buffer pH adjustment, and modifier addition for optimizing separations.


Nexera X2 Features:

  • New PDA detector–offers superior sensitivity and resolution, achieving a 0.4×10-5 AU noise level for genuine UHPLC analysis
  • Automated solvent blending and method scouting–ideal for method development
  • Intelligent Peak Deconvolution Analysis (i-PDeA) function–unique software solution to separate and accurately integrate co-eluting peaks
  • Intelligent Dynamic Range Extension Calculator (i-DReC)–extends the dynamic range so low concentration (trace or impurity compounds) and very high concentration samples can be accurately analyzed in a single injection
  • Ultrahigh-throughput and clean autosampler–perfect front-end systems for any LCMS applications
