Introduction to Shimadzu Gas Chromatograph GC-2014ATF/SPL

The Shimadzu GC-2014ATF/SPL represents the high-end configuration of the GC-2014 series, specifically designed for versatile analytical applications. This model features a dual-inlet system (SPL split/splitless inlet unit and DINJ dual packed inlet unit) combined with dual detectors (DTCD thermal conductivity detector and DFID flame ionization detector), making it ideal for efficient analysis in environmental monitoring, food safety, and petrochemical applications.

Key Features

1. Flexible Configuration:

   • The SPL inlet supports split/splitless and direct injection modes, compatible with both capillary and packed columns. Equipped with high-pressure injection capability, it optimizes trace-level analysis.
   • The DINJ dual packed inlet unit is specifically designed for dual-channel FID/TCD operation, sharing a temperature-controlled pathway to enhance stability in packed column analysis.

2. High-Performance Detectors:

   • The DFID detector features automatic ignition with a detection limit of 1.5 pg C/s, suitable for organic compound analysis.
   • The DTCD detector utilizes a semi-diffusion cell design, minimizing contamination risks and making it ideal for gas and volatile organic compound analysis.

3. Intelligent Control & Expandability:

   • Advanced Electronic Flow Control (AFC) technology ensures precise carrier gas regulation, with retention time reproducibility better than ±0.01%.
   • Supports expansion up to 3 inlets and 4 detectors, maintaining compatibility with Shimadzu GC-7 to GC-16 series columns.

Technical Specifications

• Temperature Range: Column oven -50°C to 420°C (with liquid CO₂ cooling); detectors up to 420°C (FID/TCD).
• Carrier Gas Control: Pressure range 0-970 kPa, supporting constant linear velocity, pressure, and flow modes.

Applications

• Environmental Monitoring: Analysis of atmospheric VOCs and waterborne benzene derivatives.
• Food Safety: Screening for pesticide residues (e.g., organophosphorus/sulfur compounds).

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly replace SPL inlet liners to prevent peak tailing; use carrier gas with purity ≥99.999%.

This model is renowned for its modular design and fully localized operation interface (LabSolutions workstation), delivering high precision with cost-effective maintenance.
