UV-1900i
Shimadzu's New UV-1900 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer Offers the Industry's Fastest Level Scan Function and LabSolutions UV-Vis Control Software. The UV-1900 features a large, easy-to-use color touch panel as well as excellent operability, such as support for five languages, including Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, it can perform high-accuracy quantitative analysis, thanks to a proprietary low stray light diffraction grating, the same device used in our top-of-the-range UV-VIS spectrophotometers. Connecting this instrument with Shimadzu's analysis data management system provides integrated data management with various analysis instruments, in an environment compatible with guidelines and regulations related to electronic records and electronic signatures. LabSolutions UV-Vis, Shimadzu's UV-Vis control software released simultaneously, contributes to data pass/fail judgments via its spectral evaluation functions.
Nexera UHPLC Series
Evolution with AI Invented by a Russian botanist in 1903, Chromatography has become one of the most essential techniques benefitting society and humankind. Everyday uses range from testing the quality of food through to developing new life-saving drugs. Shimadzu are the first to incorporate their AI into a next generation of analytical chromatography instruments; named the Nexera series. Analytical intelligence includes algorithms able to intelligently resolve compounds previously undetected or smart auto-diagnostics and auto-recovery functions allowing a system to monitor and diagnose itself, handle any issues during data acquisition without user input, and automatically behave as if it were operated by an expert. Nexera series offers New Benchmarks to the Chromatographic world.
MALDI-8030
Affordable Class-leading Workhorse The MALDI-8030 is the latest in a long line of MALDI-TOF products from Shimadzu. Instrument performance specifications is extended from those of the MALDI-8020 to cater for compounds best suited to analysis in negative ion mode. This dual-polarity, benchtop linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivers outstanding performance in a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for today’s increasingly demanding laboratories. Key features: - Dual mode (positive/negative ion) MALDI-TOF - 200 Hz solid-state laser, 355 nm - Load-lock chamber for fast sample introduction - UV laser-based source cleaning (patented) - Flexibility - Small footprint/benchtop design - Quiet operation (<55 dB)
