Options for Expanding Your Productivity

Simultaneously Control Up to Three Injection Units and Four Detectors

Up to four types of injection units or six types of detectors can be selected depending on the purpose of analysis and target components. Four detectors can be controlled simultaneously using LabSolutions.

Note: The number of detectors installed depends on the type. The injection port can control up to two devices simultaneously.

Inlets

Split/Splitless Injector
SPL-2030
  • The injection port can be opened or closed without tools, making insert replacement easy. It ensures an airtight seal even at high temperatures and pressures.
  • Standard configuration supports high-speed GC with narrow bore capillary columns.
  • The carrier gas saver function reduces split gas consumption.
  • Permits high-pressure injection mode.
On-Column Injection Unit
OCI-2030
  • Samples can be injected using cold on-column injection (OCI).
  • By using an optional easy OCI insert, cold on-column injection allows a narrow-bore capillary column to be connected directly to the injector without a 0.53 mm I.D. pre-column. (Press-Tight connector not necessary).
  • It also supports analysis of high-boiling compounds (straight-chain hydrocarbons with 100 or more carbons)
  • Two units of OCI can be mounted at the same time.
Note: OCI-2030 cannot be used as the PTV.
Direct Injection Unit
WBI-2030
  • The injection port can be opened or closed without tools, making insert replacement easy. It ensures an airtight seal even at high temperatures and pressures.
  • Equipped with a septum purge flow channel to inhibit solvent tailing.
  • Shares and simplifies the glass inserts for splitless analysis (patented).
Note: Contact your Shimadzu representative separately regarding connecting a packed column
Programmed Temperature Vaporization Injector
PTV-2030
  • Samples can be injected using the PTV method.
  • Uses an inert heat-resistant quartz insert.
  • Two units of PTV can be mounted at the same time.
Note: PTV-2030 cannot be used as the OCI.
Packed Column Injection Unit
SINJ-2030
  • Glass packed column and SUS packed column can be connected.

Detectors

Flame Ionization Detector
FID-2030		 All organic compounds
  • An optimized nozzle and collector structure provides better response than
    previous models.
  • Improved instrument controller and flow controller stability results in lower
    noise and the world's highest* sensitivity.
  • Automatic ignition, re-ignition and flame extinguishing functions are included by default.
  • It also includes a feedback function for reducing the gas supply pressure to zero when the hydrogen flame is extinguished unexpectedly.
  • Reverse threads are used on hydrogen connector joints to prevent incorrect pipe connections.
  • An optional flame monitor can be mounted.
Flame Photometric Detector
FPD-2030
 
Organic phosphorus
compounds

Sulfur compounds
  • A novel optical system with a more advanced dual-focus system results in the
    world's highest sensitivity*.
  • The nozzle structure prevents adsorption and decomposition of sample components and an improved nozzle shape heightens flame stability.
  • A dedicated cooling fan achieves a more compact design that also enables high-temperature (450 °C) operation.
  • Reverse threads are used on hydrogen connector joints to prevent incorrect pipe connections.
  • When using LabSolutions, the recommended detector flowrates can be set automatically for optimal sensitivity, by simply selecting the filter type (for phosphorus, sulfur, or tin).
Thermal Conductivity Detector
TCD-2030 (for capillary columns)		 Inorganic gases

High-concentration
organic compounds
  • A microvolume cell supports even sharp peaks.
  • An improved structure results in a shorter stabilization time than previous models. It enable more reliable analysis that is less easily affected by column oven temperature.
Thermal Conductivity Detector
PTCD-2030 (for packed)		 Inorganic gases

High-concentration
organic compounds
  • TCD for packed column.
  • It enable more reliable analysis that is less easily affected by column oven temperature.
Flame Thermionic Detector
FTD(NPD)-2030
Organic nitrogen
compounds
 
Organic phosphorus
compounds
  • An improved collector reduces the negative peaks from impurity components.
  • Collectors can be replaced without tools.
  • Using an alkali source regeneration kit (optional) can reduce running costs.
  • Reverse threads are used on hydrogen connector joints to prevent incorrect pipe connections.
Electron Capture Detector
ECD-2010 Exceed		 Electrophilic
compounds
  • Redesigned internal structure provides increased durability, higher sensitivity, and wider dynamic range, achieving the world's highest* ECD performance.
  • An optimized ECD cell structure achieves the world's highest sensitivity.
Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector
BID-2030		 Low-concentration
inorganic gases

Organic
compounds
  • A wide variety of compounds other than He and Ne can be detected with high sensitivity.
  • Provides over 100 times higher sensitivity than TCD and over 1.5 times higher than FID.
  • A barrier discharge plasma source that does not contact the electrode prevents high electrode temperatures. Consequently, electrodes almost never deteriorate, which ensures long-term analytical stability.
Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector
SCD-2030		 Sulfur compound
  • The Nexis SCD-2030 is a next generation sulfur chemiluminescence detection system, the first in the industry to adopt a horizontal placement design. The dramatically enhanced sensitivity and stability of this system, as well as its excellent maintainability, and automation functions, a first for the industry, will improve laboratory productivity.

*As of March 2020, according to a Shimadzu survey

Notes: In some countries, registration with the appropriate authority for regulation of radioisotopes is required before purchasing or using this detector. (Contact your Shimadzu representative for details.)
