As analytical demands continue to grow, laboratories require greater sensitivity, higher productivity, and more efficient workflows to address increasingly complex applications. In this webinar, we will introduce how the latest advances in GC and GC-MS technology deliver improved performance, robustness, and ease of use for modern laboratories.

The GCMS-TQ RX Series is a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer that integrates Shimadzu’s advanced technologies to meet the diverse and growing demands of modern analytical laboratories. Based on the “3R” concept — Reliable, Resilient, and Responsible — the series delivers consistent performance alongside exceptional ease of use.

Py-Screener Ver.3 is a screening system for detecting seven types of phthalate esters regulated under the RoHS Directive, brominated flame retardants (PBBs, PBDEs), PIP (3:1) regulated under the U.S. TSCA, UV-328 regulated under the Stockholm Convention on POPs, Dechlorane Plus (DP), and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) / medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs).

This issue showcases advanced technologies and research tackling the global challenges posed by PFAS. As part of Shimadzu’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and problem solving, we strive to reduce environmental impacts and build a better future.

This system allows the on-column derivatization using auto-injector AOC-30i and a LabSolutions GCMS system that is now equipped with 2-step injection. On-column derivatization allows for the direct analysis of extracted urine samples without additional sample pretreatment, which can significantly shorten the time required for derivatization.
