High sensitivity detectors for various analyses

Dual BID system for sensitive analysis of inorganic gases and lower hydrocarbons simultaneously

The Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector (BID-2030) is a universal detector compatible with high-sensitivity analysis, which combines ionization methods using low-frequency dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Helium plasma is generated by applying high pressure on a quartz glass tube, and the measured component is ionized by receiving this light energy. It is then collected by a collection electrode and outputted as a peak. It can detect all compounds except Ne and He with high sensitivity, and can simultaneously detect ppm level inorganic gases and lower hydrocarbons with high sensitivity. Nexis GC-2030 can install 2 BID-2030s. By using chromatography columns with different separation characteristics, multiple components can be analyzed with higher resolution.

Example of analysis of inorganic gases/lower hydrocarbons (5 ppm per component)

Analysis of residual solvents in drugs

Compared with traditional products, the hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID-2030) has improved response by optimizing the structure of the nozzle and collector. In addition, the stability of the control unit and flow controller has been improved to reduce noise and achieve the desired level*Sensitivity. Even in the analysis of residual solvents in drugs that require high sensitivity, the target component can be reliably captured.

Analysis of volatile organic compounds in wastewater

Compared with traditional models, the Electronic Capture Detector (ECD-2010 Exceed) has better durability, sensitivity, and dynamic range under high temperature conditions. By optimizing the ECD battery structure and purge flow rate and using highly durable materials, its durability, sensitivity, and dynamic range can be improved. We have reached the world levelofperformance Detect extremely small amounts of VOCs in wastewater with ultra-high sensitivity.

Intelligent flow controller with excellent reproducibility

Developed a new flow controller (AFC) with CPU.
Corresponding to various control methods such as constant linear velocity control, constant flow control, and constant pressure control of the carrier gas, excellent reproducibility has been achieved through ultra-high speed and ultra precision control. Multi level programs can also be created in each mode.
The separation line filter can be replaced without tools. You can visually inspect the dirt inside and maintain a replacement time.

Supporting many advanced features of world-class standards

Automatic notification of replacement time
- Monitoring function -

The Nexis GC-2030 has various monitoring functions. Notify consumables replacement time and maintain data quality. You can also monitor power consumption in real-time.

• Syringe counter
• Diaphragm use counter
• Insert usage counter
• Refrigerant consumption monitor
• Power consumption monitor

Equipment operating status
Diagnosis - Self diagnostic function -

Use the self diagnostic function (system check) to check the operating status of the equipment. Regular diagnosis can prevent equipment from unexpectedly shutting down.

automatic check
Carrier gas leakage - Carrier gas leakage inspection function -

Use one to check for gas leakage in the sample gasification chamber. Since the inspection is carried out with the chromatographic column connected, the working time can be shortened.

Protect the chromatographic column-
Oven cooling speed setting-

The cooling rate of the column temperature chamber can be set independently of the column temperature chamber temperature program. Protect chromatography columns that are sensitive to sudden temperature changes.

Reduce the usage of helium gas - solar term function-

In the method of introducing split/non split samples, the carrier gas saving function can be used to reduce the release of carrier gas from the split flow path to the outside of the system after transferring the sample to the chromatographic column for analysis.

In addition, by using an optional gas selector, the gas supplied to each unit can be automatically converted from He to alternative gases such as N2, except during the analysis period. Not only can it be combined with the carrier gas saving function to save gas, but it can also save gas in the total amount introduction method where the carrier gas saving function cannot be used. The control has been integrated into LabSolutions and can seamlessly execute gas switching settings.

Reduce operating costs - automatic start/stop function-

The automatic stop and start functions reduce operating costs. If the automatic stop function is used, the temperature control of GC will automatically stop after the analysis is completed to save electricity. After a set time, the control of the carrier gas and detector gas will be stopped. If the automatic start function is used, gas control will be activated after the set time, followed by temperature control.
