Advancing flexibility and efficiency in gas chromatography

Gas chromatography is a key technique in many laboratories, from routine quality control to demanding environmental and chemical applications. Yet increasing sample variety, cost pressure and evolving analytical requirements call for systems that combine flexibility, efficiency and reliability, such as the Nexis GC-2060.

As laboratories face growing pressure to deliver reliable results faster and more efficiently, gas chromatography systems must do more than perform well in isolated applications. They need to support a wide range of methods, reduce manual effort and remain adaptable as requirements evolve. The Nexis GC-2060 from Shimadzu addresses these needs with a versatile and expandable platform for routine and advanced GC analysis in chemical, GX/process and environmental laboratories.

Designed as Shimadzu’s new flagship GC, the Nexis GC-2060 combines high-performance detectors, flexible configuration options and smart automation to make daily GC work simpler, more reliable and more efficient. Its broad application range allows laboratories to cover diverse analytical tasks on one platform, while future-ready expandability helps protect long-term investments.

A key advantage of the Nexis GC-2060 is its combination of analytical performance and operational flexibility. The new Multi Mode Inlet supports several injection techniques in a single device, including large volume injection, helping laboratories handle demanding sample matrices and low trace concentrations with greater ease. In parallel, advanced detector technology enhances sensitivity, reproducibility and quantification performance. Optional Polyarc support can significantly reduce calibration effort by enabling a universal carbon response for organic compounds.

Integrated Analytical Intelligence functions further simplify operation, maintenance and method development. Automated routines help save time, reduce troubleshooting effort and support more efficient daily workflows. The Eco Idling function additionally lowers gas and electricity consumption during standby periods and can optimise idle schedules based on usage patterns, contributing to lower operating costs without compromising readiness Article.

The Nexis GC-2060 also gives laboratories more freedom in carrier gas selection, supporting hydrogen, helium, nitrogen or argon. This flexibility helps users respond to rising helium costs and supply concerns, while optional safety features support reliable hydrogen operation.

In summary, by combining versatility, automation and future-ready expandability, the Nexis GC-2060 helps laboratories reduce complexity, improve efficiency and stay prepared for what comes next.
