LC News No. 232 New Nexera series: release of related products
LC News No. 233 Announcement of sales termination
For more than 40 years, Shimadzu Corporation has refined the technological capabilities of
high-speed and ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph, and has provided products with
outstanding performance, such as autosamplers with low carryover and detectors which support
stable signal intensity during ambient temperature fluctuations. The new Nexera series aims to
set new standards for high performance liquid chromatography in the world of analysis,
combining a solid foundation of technological know-how with new functions involving M2M,
IoT and AI. A variety of sensors update operating status and instrument configuration to cloud
servers in real time, including data related to consumable parts such as columns and UV lamps,
guaranteeing data integrity and traceability. Sensor data is also used to predict problems such as
mobile phase depletion and wear-and-tear of consumable parts. Pumping issues that can be
caused by air bubbles are automatically detected and resolved via the autopurge function. The
integration of these technologies allows users to generate accurate and reliable chromatographs
without the need for extensive technical knowledge or experience.
New features contribute to more efficient workflow in the lab as a whole. The installation
area required for the LC has been further reduced, and continuous analysis of thousands of
samples has been enabled. It is now possible to collect data from two different analysis paths in
a single system. Basic performance has also been improved thanks to the addition of a UV cut-
off filter to prevent degradation of compounds and three-way temperature control in the optical
system to ensure baseline stability.
These features are shared by all four models in the new Nexera series, which have a
maximum pressure of 130, 105, 70 and 44 MPa respectively, allowing customers with various
analysis needs to experience the benefits of these new technologies.
