"Smaller, simpler, and easier to use – without compromising performance." That’s the demand from analysts. And that’s why Shimadzu developed the Brevis GC-2050. 

The ICPMS-2040 Series and ICPMS-2050 Series inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) provide approximately twice the sensitivity of conventional models through the use of a uniquely designed plasma torch (a mechanism to generate plasma). 

The Incucyte® Exofluor Green EV Labeling Kit enables non-perturbing, real-time, dynamic evaluation of cellular EV uptake and has been validated for use with the Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System configured with a Green | Red or Green | Orange | Near-IR optical module. Incucyte® Exofluor Green EV Labeling Dye uniformly labels the plasma membrane of small EVs (e.g., exosomes) by covalently binding to proteins and amino acids.…

The MAP-100 automatic microplastics pretreatment unit is the first in the world to automate the process of extracting and collecting microplastics in oceans, rivers, lakes, and other water in the environment. To accurately analyze microplastics in aqueous samples, an essential step is to isolate the particles from other components in the sample. The MAP-100 automates acid treatment and density separation processes, as well as…

The Agilent AA Duo is the world's only atomic absorption spectrometer with true simultaneous operation of flame and graphite furnace. Since the Agilent AA Duo provides simultaneous operation of two permanently mounted atomizers from one central computer, operation is more flexible, setup and changeover times are eliminated, for true simultaneous operation that doubles your productivity.  

Plasma Chromatographic Software   Agilent Technologies' Plasma Chromatographic Software (Plasma Chrom) enables seamless integration of the Agilent 7700 and 7500 Series ICP-MS with chromatography instrumentation. Developed by Agilent, this optional software features powerful integration, calibration and quantification capabilities for handling chromatographic data. Much more than just a data analysis package, the Agilent Plasma…

Customized automation for best dissolution results   The new Agilent WinUV Dissolution Software generates accurate and robust data. The software supports multiple hardware configurations for sampling, filtering, and archiving your samples. Designed to run on Microsoft® Windows® XP, it provides a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant environment for your laboratory data and operations.

Agilent J&W Biodiesel GC columns are purposely designed and application-optimized for the analysis of biodiesel to meet the ASTM and CEN testing standards

The Agilent J&W Cyclo Sil-B GC Columns perform chiral separations without chiral specific derivations. Agilent makes more capillary columns than anyone else in the world and our commitment to product reliability and repeatability has raised the level of quality that chromatographers demand. We continue to tighten our performance criteria such as separation efficiency, retention characteristics, peak height ratios, and bleed ra…

DuraGuard columns are made with a single, continuous piece of tubing consisting of a built-in length of deactivated fused silica tubing and an analytical column. Difficult samples, such as pesticides or drugs, can be analyzed without any undesirable contributions from the unions.

Agilent J&W CP-Carbowax 400 for Volatiles in Alcohol has the highest resolution for amyl alcohols, for accurate quality control. Its high plate number, even at 0 °C, delivers for reliable analysis of the most volatile compounds. It is specially designed and tested for this application, ensuring performance and column-to-column reproducibility.

This leading-edge column technology is ideal for applications that require faster run times, such as high-throughput screening, fast process monitoring, and fast method development. Agilent High Efficiency GC columns can reduce sample run time by 50% or more without compromising resolution.

Agilent J&W VF-5ht improves the analysis of high boiling compounds with low-bleed performance, even at high temperatures. Based on ultra-low-bleed technology, VF-5ht provides unmatched selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the analysis of high molecular weight compounds. Temperature limits -60 to 400 °C for fused silica and -60 to 450°C for Ultimetal stainless steel.

Agilent J&W DB-ALC1 and DB-ALC2 analytical column enable two minute analyses by reducing run time by one-third compared to other blood alcohol analysis columns.

Agilent J&W VF-DA is a unique, guaranteed low-bleed column for forensic drug confirmation testing. The column has high recovery for trace components and excellent resistance to direct methanol injections. Forensic drugs are measured in a variety of matrixes.

Agilent J&W HP-Fast Residual Solvent columns are equivalent to U.S.P phase G43. They feature a thinner film that reduces run times by a factor of 2.5 compared to columns of standard film thickness. These HP-Fast Residual Columns are bonded and cross-linked.

Agilent J&W LTM Column Module combines a high-quality fused silica capillary column with heating and temperature sensing components for a low thermal mass column assembly. The LTM Column module has a patented design that heats and cools the column very efficiently for significantly shorter analytical cycle times compared to conventional air-bath GC oven techniques, while simultaneously using less power. 

Agilent J&W VF-1ms is a highly inert, nonpolar 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase, ultra-low-bleed GC column providing increased sensitivity over a broad array of applications, particularly for energy, pharmaceutical, and environmental analyses. 

Agilent J&W VF-5ms is an inert 5% phenyl-methyl column for increased sensitivity, accuracy and instrument uptime. The column has the lowest guaranteed bleed specification of 1 pA at 325 °C (30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm). 

Agilent J&W DB-ProSteel metal columns are deactivated with a special process treatment formula to provide good inertness. The columns can be custom-wound on request for small GC ovens. DB-ProSteel has the same outer diameter as standard megabore columns of 0.53 mm id so no special ferrules are required for proper installation.

Agilent J&W HP-101 is a 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase. It is not bonded or cross-linked, and is therefore useful for established methods that do not require the column to have cross-linked or bonded polymer phases. Note: Because HP-101 columns are not bonded or cross-linked, we do not recommend solvent rinsing.

Agilent J&W Carbowax 20M and HP-20M are polyethylene glycol (PEG) columns equivalent to USP phase G16. Their temperature range of 60 to 220 ºC is ideal for alcohols, free acid, ether, glycol, and solvents. Carbowax 20M and HP-20M are not bonded or cross-linked and so solvent rinsing is not recommended. DB-WAX is the bonded alternative for HP-20M.
