Nexera-e
Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatograph
Comprehensive 2D-LC methodology is a paradigm shift in liquid chromatography separation. By combining two independent separation modes orthogonally in combination with a dual-loop/dual-valve alternate switching design, the highest possible peak capacity is achieved.
The new Nexera-e is the ideal solution for the separation and characterization of most challenging and complex samples. It is particularly useful for the analysis of pharmaceutical impurities, proteolytic digests, food extracts, natural products and synthetic polymers.
Improved resolving power compared to conventional 1D-LC
How many peaks are co-eluted under one peak? The more complex the sample, along with a high percentage of similar compounds, there exists a high probability of co-eluting compounds found under single peaks.
Even though the co-eluting compounds may not be separated by mono-dimensional separation, an orthogonal two-dimensional system will provide the best possible result.

Features
-
Comprehensive 2D-LC is a analytical methodology combining two independent separation modes orthogonally, greatly increasing separation efficiency.
-
Shimadzu triple quadrupole mass spectrometers (TQMS) have the world-class polarity reversal speed (5 ms) and data capture speed (1.5 ms). In comprehensive 2D-LC analysis, the analysis time of second dimension is short, therefore the high-speed performance of the LC-MS affects the quality of the data.
-
Comprehensive 2D-LC often requires complicated software operation for setting 1D and 2D analytical conditions. LabSolutions provides an easy parameter setting and contributes to the simple operation.

Multiple Analytical Techniques For Carotenoid Analysis In Capsicum Cultivars
Carotenoids and their derivatives are versatile isoprenoids based on a C40 tetraterpenoid skeleton and play a vital role in plants and animals, but, due to their high variability in the chemical structures, isomerization, poor stability and lack of commercially available standards, their identication in real samples is a challenging task.

New Method Development System
LabSolutions™ MD improves method development efficiency by taking an Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) approach. This software efficiently develops highly reliable analysis methods by configuring mobile phases, columns, and other parameters using an analysis function that automatically generates analysis schedules with the experimental design method and a data analysis function that plots a design space and predicted chromatogram.

An Improvement in Preparative SFC Efficiency Utilizing Online SFE-SFC System as a “Solid Autosampler”
Preparative SFC is a groundbreaking separation and purification technology. It has a number of advantages in comparison to preparative LC including simplified posttreatment, shorter analysis times, and different separation selectivity. With preparative SFC, the injection of large sample volumes is often required in order to increase the recovered amount.
-
SFC Analytical Condition Parameters is available.
The approach for the SFC analytical condition development process is basically the same as for determining analytical conditions for HPLC.
