Nexis GC-2030 Gas Chromatograph

In this application note, Shimadzu Corporation introduces three analytical instruments to evaluate infectious diseases caused by harmful microorganisms: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS), matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The note highlights the rise of bacterial infectious diseases in the past 10 years, emphasizing the importance of investigating and examining these infections.

In this application note, Shimadzu demonstrates that its proprietary barrier-discharge ionization (BID) detector, coupled with Supelco’s WaterCol™ 1910 column, can isolate a water peak and quantify moisture at low levels.

In this application note, Shimadzu explains how it developed a gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC FID) method to accurately quantify ethanol and IPA concentrations in two hand sanitizer samples. This application note explains how using nitrogen as the carrier gas is cost-effective and CDC and USP compliant.

In this application note, Shimadzu explains how using hydrogen as the carrier gas for gas chromatographs instead of helium gas can significantly reduce overhead costs for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis.

Every day in America, 29 people die in drunk driving accidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. To prevent future incidents and ensure appropriate legal action is taken, forensic laboratories must be able to effectively analyze ethanol in blood samples. One of the most widely used methods is blood alcohol testing.

In a fast-paced environment like the midstream sector, it is important to complete your BTU analysis in a quick, efficient manner. And yet, due to the financial implications of this information, your analysis must also be as accurate as it is fast.

Hemp oil containing beneficial phytocannabionoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) but very low levels of the psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has become increasingly popular. For quality control of the product, the level of CBD and THC should be closely monitored. In this report, hemp oil samples were analyzed by the Shimadzu GC-2030 using H2 carrier gas and the concentrations of CBD and THC were determined.

Nicotine content is an important attribute for e-cigarette liquid and can be easily assayed using gas chromatography techniques. In this report, an e-cigarette liquid sample was analyzed by the Shimadzu GC-2030 using H2 carrier gas and the concentration of nicotine was determined. This instrument setup provides an easy and robust system for routine analysis with accurate and precise results.

Join us for this dual‑session SelectScience® webinar exploring hydrogen impurity testing and analytical strategies for achieving ISO 14687‑aligned fuel quality. To better suit your schedule and time zone, the webinar will be offered in two separate sessions:

Session 1: 09:00 BST | 10:00 CEST

Session 2: 10:00 PDT | 13:00 EDT | 18:00 BST

As hydrogen scales across energy, transport, and industrial applications, understanding fuel purity is fundamental for compliance, safety, and uptime. At present, only a limited number of instruments are capable of addressing the full hydrogen impurity matrix, meaning that most testing strategies continue to rely on a combination of analytical technologies aligned to the specific production pathway.

In this webinar, Tyler Roberts, Market Manager of Applied Markets at Shimadzu, presents a practical, process‑aware framework for hydrogen impurity testing. He will outline how different analytical technologies contribute to a complete workflow, including:

• System GC for permanent gases, hydrocarbons, and sulfur compounds
• GC‑MS for organic impurity identification and speciation
• Ion chromatography for ammonia and halogenated acids at the lowest required detection limits
• FTIR for rapid multi‑component screening from a single sample

Covering pathways from steam methane reforming (SMR) and electrolysis to ammonia cracking and liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems, this session will guide you in building the analytical foundation for confident hydrogen quality assurance benchmarked against ISO 14687.
