Shimadzu Gas Chromatography GC Smart (GC-2018)

Shimadzu GC Smart is an innovative, high stability, high-throughput gas chromatograph designed for routine testing needs. GC Smart is equipped with AFM (advanced flow monitoring) and APM (advanced pressure monitoring), and can easily obtain various gas parameters by adjusting the gas path knob, making the operation very simple. In addition, it has strong scalability and can be equipped with packed column/capillary column injection ports, FID and TCD detectors. Advanced design concepts, sophisticated mechanical processing techniques, and reliable quality assurance make GC Smart superior in quality and durable.

The Shimadzu GC Smart gas chromatograph is widely used for the analysis of compounds in fields such as petrochemicals, food safety, environmental monitoring, quality inspection, biochemistry, and healthcare, making it the best choice for daily testing.

GC Smart, as an excellent gas chromatography product, has the following characteristics:

1. Excellent performance

(1) Digital pressure/flow display function

The GC Smart host comes standard with AFM (advanced flow monitoring) and APM (advanced pressure monitoring), allowing operators to easily obtain current flow/pressure parameters of carrier gas, hydrogen gas, air, etc. from the host's large LCD display by adjusting the gas path knob, without the need for flow meter measurement or manual calculation of diversion ratio. Eliminating the tedious process of analyzing and setting conditions, it brings unprecedented experience to the operator.

(2) Flexible system scalability to meet the requirements of various fields

GC Smart supports various combinations of units such as single/double packed column injection ports, split/non split capillary column injection, single/double FID detectors, TCD detectors, etc. Up to 2 injection ports and 2 detectors can be loaded simultaneously. After purchasing the host, it is also convenient to add various units such as injection ports and detectors.

(3) Easy to upgrade to automatic injection for high-throughput analysis

GC Smart has integrated the power supply of the automatic sampler AOC-20i into the host. Users only need to purchase an injection tower device to instantly upgrade to automatic injection, providing convenience for achieving high-throughput analysis.
Simultaneously supporting various auxiliary injection functions, such as headspace, purge and capture, thermal analysis, thermal cracking, etc.

2. Powerful software functionality

(1) Integrated Data Structure Pattern

GC Smart adopts the most advanced technologyIntegrated Data Structure ModelThe control software LabSolution LE makes instrument control and data processing easier. The data file records all information related to data collection and analysis, such as instrument conditions, batch tables, qualitative and quantitative parameters, and report files, achieving traceability of all information and ensuring high reliability of the data.

(2) Rich report management functions

The LabSolution LE workstation includes a range of data post-processing functions, including precise printing based on the displayed graph on the screen, creating reports using specific template files, etc. After the analysis is completed, the analysis report can be easily output in a specific format through simple operations.

(3) Powerful data computing capabilities

Support high-precision control QA/QC function, capable of automatically calculating methodological indicators such as signal-to-noise ratio, precision, recovery rate, detection limit, and instrument system inspection function.

In addition, LabSolution LE can simultaneously control up to 2 GC Smart devices (up to 16 registered devices), facilitating hardware control in large-scale laboratories.

(4) Use USB and network interface

GC Smart comes standard with a USB interface to connect to the workstation, ensuring fast and efficient transmission of analysis data and ensuring data security and integrity.
At the same time, considering the development and continuous expansion of the laboratory, GC Smart is also equipped with network interfaces, which provides convenience for upgrading to network control in the future, truly realizing the operation of human-machine separation, as well as remote control and remote diagnosis.

3. Easy to operate and maintain

(1) Adopting a large LCD display

The display part adopts a large display that can accommodate a large amount of information and a graphical human-machine dialogue method, which can set analysis conditions in a short time.

(2) Simple LED warning light

The LED warning lights with streamlined design on the operation panel effectively provide comprehensive guidance by utilizing the differences in color and flicker. It uses the exact same color as the familiar traffic lights to serve as a warning, and the curved design adds a touch of playfulness to the tedious detection work.

In addition, the prompt text on the keyboard is all in Chinese characters, so that users will not ignore or miss any control details.
