The analysis time can be effectively shortened because an excellent chromatographic resolution can be maintained even at higher flow rates than those typically used for HPLC.

Preparative scale Nexera™ UC Prep is Here
Advances in column technology have led to a renewed interest in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), which uses a supercritical fluid as mobile phase. Compared to liquid, supercritical fluids have low viscosity and high diffusivity. By combining SFC with Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), which utilizes the high permeability and diffusivity of supercritical fluids, the extraction and analysis of target components from solid samples can be automated. The new analytical technology “Unified Chromatography” improves the analytical workflow by integrating sample extraction, analysis by various separation modes, and high-sensitivity detection.
Award
2015 R&D magazine Award
The award from R&D magazine recognizes Shimadzu’s Nexera™ UC system as one of the 100 most technically significant new products of the year in the analytical and testing category.
R&D Magazine chose the Nexera UC system because its fully automated technology opens up new analytical opportunities in many fields, including food products, drug discovery and delivery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning validation. With industry-leading throughput and superior levels of sensitivity, the system eliminates the need for complicated sample pre-treatment and reduces the possibility of human error during analysis.
Pittcon Editors' Gold Award 2015
The Pittcon Editors' Awards recognize the most innovative products presented at Pittcon for the first time based on votes by the media corps. Editors awarded the Nexera UC for its ability to provide a workflow solution that addresses the bottleneck in real-world sample analyses.
Features
-
-
Separation results can be quickly obtained during method development by screening with both SFC and UHPLC. -
By using a fraction collector, small-volume fractionation is also possible (ex:1.5 mL vials). -
Target compounds are extracted from solid samples, and then automatically transferred to SFC. -
By using SFC, the consumption of organic solvent is reduced by 94.2%, compared to the normal-phase LC.

Biodegradable Plastics
In order to reduce plastic waste, the development of eco-friendly alternative materials is being promoted. As an alternative, biomass plastics and biodegradable plastics are becoming more widely available. Biodegradable Plastics are plastics that are decomposed into low-molecular compounds by microorganisms in the environment. So they break down easily in nature, which is an opposite characteristic of petroleum-based plastics.

Shimadzu has released the Nexera lite inert
Nexera lite inert is a robust HPLC system that eliminates the risk of corrosion by high-salt mobile phases and sample adsorption onto metal surfaces. It improves the data quality of protein analysis in biological samples with superior reproducibility, without any special considerations for stable and long-term use.
