Introduction to Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030AF Gas Chromatograph

The Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030AF is a flagship gas chromatograph designed for high-precision trace analysis, integrating intelligent technology and modular expandability. It is widely used in environmental monitoring, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical industries.

Core Technological Advantages

1. Smart Interaction & AI Assistance

   • Features a 10-inch touchscreen with remote monitoring (LabSolutions Direct) and built-in pre-conditioning functions to automatically optimize analysis conditions and enhance data stability.
   • ClickTek technology enables tool-free installation of columns and inlet maintenance, meeting high-temperature and high-pressure sealing requirements while significantly reducing operational complexity.

2. Ultra-High Sensitivity Detection

   • Equipped with FID, ECD, FPD, and other detectors, achieving exceptional sensitivity:
     • FID detection limit: <1.2×10⁻¹² g/s (carbon)
     • ECD detection limit: <4×10⁻¹⁵ g/mL.
   • Optional BID detector (Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector) supports analysis of inorganic gases and high-boiling-point compounds.

3. High-Efficiency Analysis System

   • Backflush and heart-cutting technology: Reduces analysis time (e.g., cyclic siloxane analysis shortened from 70 minutes to 12 minutes).
   • Carrier gas saver mode: Automatically switches to nitrogen/hydrogen during standby, reducing helium consumption by 90%.

4. Flexible Configuration

   • Supports simultaneous installation of 3 inlet units (e.g., PTV, cold on-column) and 4 detectors, compatible with capillary and packed columns.
   • Oven temperature range: Ambient +2°C to 450°C, with a heating rate of 250°C/min and rapid cooling (450°C→50°C in 3.4 minutes).

Key Applications

• Environmental Testing: Analysis of VOCs in air and organochlorine pesticide residues in water.
• Food Safety: Detection of pesticide residues (organophosphorus/sulfur compounds) and sulfides in beer.
• Energy Industry: Trace impurity analysis in hydrogen/natural gas.

Maintenance & Expandability

• i-PeakFinder algorithm automatically processes complex baselines, supporting high-throughput data analysis.
• Modular design facilitates upgrades with low maintenance costs (e.g., column replacement without tools).

Positioned as the "next-generation industry standard", the GC-2030AF combines intelligence, high sensitivity, and flexible configuration to meet the stringent demands of modern laboratories.
