FAQs
What core function do chromatography columns and consumables serve in lab analysis?
Chromatography columns are the engine room of analytical chemistry, providing the foundation for separation, identification and quantification of the molecular structure of sample mixtures. Reagents and consumables are the essential tools to make these analyses possible, comprising equipment including solvents, high-purity additives, vials and filters. By pairing columns with compatible reagents and consumables, you can optimize your equipment and processes for accuracy, precision and efficiency, while also benefiting the lifespan of the equipment itself.
How do different column types, like size exclusion chromatography column (SEC column) and ion-exchange columns, apply to diverse applications?
Different chromatography columns are better suited to certain sample types, which is why it’s important to understand the properties and complexities of both your sample material and the focus of your analyses. An ion-exchange column separates compounds based on differences in their net electrical charge, ideal for peptides or nucleic acids. An SEC column, on the other hand, separates molecules based purely on their molecular size, commonly used for characterizing polymers and proteins.
Why is the quality of reagents and consumables important for reliable chromatography results?
High-quality reagents and consumables are essential for prioritizing accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency in analytical chemistry. Low-quality reagents and consumables can introduce contaminants, which can, in turn, lead to ghost peaks, baseline drift and inconsistent results. By opting for high-purity solvents and Shimadzu-verified supplies, including glassware, you’re able to extend the lifespan of your invaluable chromatography column and optimize for the most accurate results across all analyses, including for mere trace-level particles.
What are the key steps for protecting and extending the lifespan of a chromatography column?
Key steps for protecting and extending the lifespan of a chromatography column include:
- Using a guard column to trap particulates and strongly retained compounds
- Filtering all samples and mobile phases
- Operating within Shimadzu’s (the manufacturer’s) specified limits for pressure, temperature, and pH.
What are the essential components for a liquid chromatography system, besides the instrument?
The essential components for a liquid chromatography system are the chromatography column, a pump, a sampler, the detector and the data processing device. The key consumables include the mobile phase (high-purity solvents/reagents), injection vials, and the connecting tubing and fittings, especially for LCMS chromatography workflows.
What are common chromatography consumables needed for routine analysis?
Common chromatography consumables needed for routine analysis include a continuous supply of autosampler vials and caps, syringe filters for sample pretreatment, pump seals, high-purity reagents and consumables for the mobile phase, and replacement filters for in-line filtration. These are the must-haves and it’s essential to use Shimadzu-verified supplies to ensure optimal performance.

News
Shimadzu Corporation has released LabSolutions Detect, a software with AI Functionality to support Anomaly Detection for Liquid Chromatographs (LC).
LabSolutions Detect transforms your LC data review process by visualizing differences between accumulated reference data and daily sample data.
Shimadzu has released the Column Management Platform, iCMP.
Correctly managing the usage logs for columns is indispensable for improving the reliability of data. By combining Column Manager (a database), a special scanner, and 2D code labels (iCMP tags), the intelligent Column Management Platform (iCMP)*1 automatically links information on used columns and analysis reports automatically.
Enhancing Selectivity in Reversed-Phase Analysis Through Effective Utilization of Mobile Phase pH
When analyzing ionizable compounds, the pH of the mobile phase plays a crucial role in improving peak shape and separation. However, conventional silica-based columns have limitations in utilizing high-pH mobile phases. Additionally, while polymer-based columns can operate across a wide pH range, they have drawbacks such as lower mechanical strength and column efficiency. In this technical report, we present examples of measurements conducted using mobile phases with various pH levels, employing the Shim-pack Scepter and Shim-pack NovaCore columns—organic silica hybrid columns that combine the advantages of silica-based columns with exceptional high-pH durability.
