Whereas small-molecule drugs are mostly manufactured by chemical synthesis, biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using living cells. To increase the production quantity and consistency of proteins used as raw materials for biopharmaceuticals, it is important to understand the metabolism of host cells. Because fluctuations in organic and inorganic components in culture solutions can affect the quantity and quality of antibodies produced, it is important to analyze the quantities of glucose, glutamine, nucleic acids, vitamins, or other organic and inorganic components in culture solutions.

Food industry is the largest industry of the global economy and it includes various sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, production, processing, R&D, retail and more. It has global impacts and influences various other industry. Food is an essential part of our lives. With the current developments in the food industry, the demand, availability, access and trends of food have evolved to better cater to our needs and wants globally. Above all, the safety and quality of food is key to provide the world with food that is safe and nutritious.

In this video we take a look at what a surprise birthday party looks like in slow motion using Shimadzu's high-speed camera. Some scenes are filmed at speeds of even 500,000 FPS!

Maintain optimal performance of your system using MALDI EasyCare to manually clean the ion optics and autotune the instrument.

The Shimadzu LCMS-2050 high-performance liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer, the Brevis GC-2050 gas chromatograph, and the ICPMS-2040/2050 ICP mass spectrometer won the internationally recognized iF Design Award 2024 in the product design category.

Shimadzu’s unique ELEM-SPOT system is the world’s first Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) with an element-selective combustion unit (EL-30) included for selectively analyzing nitrogen-containing compounds or oxygenated compounds in complex hydrocarbon compounds with high sensitivity.

Comprehensive Analysis of Hydrophilic Metabolites in Metabolomics

Ever wondered what makes some foods sour? In this video we explore that question while also introducing one of Japan's traditional sour foods!

Nexera FV and LabSolutions™ FV together form a new UHPLC system capable of monitoring flow synthesis and batch synthesis reactions, and automating formulation dissolution testing.

This Simulator provides a comparison of the running cost and CO2 emissions savings between Shimadzu’s new GC models and previous conventional GC models. Replacing your Shimadzu GC with a newer model can realize savings and reduce CO2 emissions.

A package mixup unfolds between two passersby. The two take an unexpected approach to solve the issue.

Most people throw out the cabbage core when cooking, but is the core really just trash or actually a hidden treasure of nutrients?

We will introduce a new feature of Shimadzu's latest tensile tester, AGX-V2, a stand-alone testing function using a large color LCD touch panel.

We will introduce how XV-Talk, the world's first voice control device installed in Shimadzu's latest tensile tester AGX-V2, can be used in various scenarios.

Shimadzu Corporation has always been a reliable partner for the pharmaceutical industry. We provide comprehensive analytical solutions for all drug research analysis and productions and help companies to increase efficiency, reduce cost, and ensure drug safety and quality.

The business environments and needs involved in analysis work change on a continual basis. The next-generation GCMS-QP2050 gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, with its accumulation of impressive Shimadzu technology, will lead the way forward. New value is provided by hardware boasting astounding reliability and stability, and easy-to-operate software equipped with superior automated technology.

The extended rinsing function automatically performs an additional rinse sequence when a target element exceeds a predetermined upper limit. A second rinse solution can be used in the additional rinsing sequence to improve rinsing effectiveness. Consequently, carryover is eliminated to ensure high-quality data.

ProActive Rinsing can shorten the analysis time by sharting the rinsing sequence in advance. While measuring multiple samples, the rinsing sequence can be started early by sending the autosampler probe to rinse while collecting data using sample already in the suction line. This greatly reduces measurement time and conserves sample.

Shimadzu provides analytical and measuring instruments for the study of a variety of plastic materials: for R&D, characteristic evaluation of raw materials, quality control for plastic products, and deterioration analysis. With these diverse techniques, Shimadzu provides optimal solutions for microplastics research.

The OAD-TOF system is a Q-TOF LCMS that realizes OAD (Oxygen Attachment Dissociation), Shimadzu's proprietary fragmentation technology. It allows the analysis of the position of carbon-carbon double bonds in lipids and other organic compounds. Combined with the LCMS -9050, which boasts world-class high mass accuracy and fast polarity switching, it enables the creation of innovative applications.

Metabolic pathways are the chain of chemical and enzymatic reactions that occur within a cell in living organisms to support their life.

The on-line coupling between supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), generate a powerful tool for the automatic extraction and detection of target compounds from food matrices. The on-line nature of the system, compared to off-line
approaches, improves run-to-run precision, enables the setting of batch-type applications, and reduces the risks of sample contamination. Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) presents unique characteristics, which make it an excellent solvent, it shows a relatively high density and
consequently, a high solvation power.

PFAS are present in the products we consume, the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink and inside our own bodies. However, new technologies are being developed to prevent them lingering in the environment indefinitely. These technologies together with proper monitoring of PFAS are required to help mitigate the harmful effects these substances have on humans and ecosystems.

The Nexera™ UC Prep is a new preparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system that offers both the high basic performance developed for the previous Nexera UC model and original state-of-the-art preparative SFC technologies. It resolves a number of issues in preparative tasks, reducing labor and improving efficiency while fitting into pre-existing workflows.
